The Tampa Bay Lightning hit a little bit of a snag on Tuesday night when they fell 4-3 to the Las Vegas Golden Knights in their first-ever meeting at the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas. The loss in Vegas meant the Lightning had a lot of work ahead of them when they returned home to the Amalie Arena on Thursday night.
The Lightning, who were looking to right the ship and get back on the right course, were set to do battle with the struggling Ottawa Senators. Unlike the Lightning, who sit comfortably at the top of the NHL Standings, the Ottawa Senators are struggling to dig themselves out of the second-to-last place in the league.
