Before heading into the Prudential Center in Newark tonight to take on the New Jersey Devils, the Tampa Bay Lightning had already made their way into the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The most interesting thing is their claim on the Stanley Cup Playoffs came as a gift from the Boston Bruins as they were defeated by the Carolina Hurricanes. In tonight’s encounter, the Lightning had an opportunity to attain a new achievement.
Should the Tampa Bay Lightning leave Newark with the two points tonight, the Tampa Bay Lightning will clinch home-ice advantage.
