Triplets to make preseason debut tonight for Lightning

DIRK SHADD | Times

The Triplets are back.

Lightning forwards Tyler Johnson, Ondrej Palat and Nikita Kucherov - which formed one of the most dangerous lines in the NHL last season - will make their preseason debut tonight against the Predators in Nashville.

The question remains, can they repeat the feat?

"I don't know, I guess we'll get a glimpse tonight," coach Jon Cooper said with a smile. "We hope so. We're counting on it."

The important thing is they're healthy. Johnson, who suffered a broken wrist in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, doesn't look like he'll be eased into the preseason.
