Tampa Bay Lightning at Nashville Predators: Bolts go for the sweep

Time: 8:00 pm Eastern Time

Location: Bridgestone Arena

Broadcast/Streaming: NBCSN

Preview:

The Lightning played one of their most complete games defensively on Monday night against the Predators. They limited Nashville to just 12 shots at 5v5 and only 3 high-danger chances. Most importantly they didn’t allow any odd-man rushes, something that seems to plague them on almost a nightly basis.

Nashville’s only real pressure came on the power play, that was also the only time they scored. It was also impressive that they kept their defense intact while still generating offense. They registered 47 shot attempts at even strength and 63 overall according to Natural Stat Trick.
