The Tampa Bay Lightning come into this one as the best team in the league with a record of 38-14-3 and by all indications should be one of the favorites to win the Stanley Cup this season. All they need is two goals in tonight’s contest to be the first team to score 200 goals this season and a lot of that has to do with the health of their best player in Steven Stamkos. Although Stamkos is just 28 years old he is playing in his 11th NHL season that has seen him return from a plethora of injuries which includes the broken tibia he suffered back in 2013. Stamkos is tied for fourth in the league with 64 points as he skates on a line with Tyler Johnson and Yanni Gourde while the league’s top point-getter in Nikita Kucherov skates alongside Brayden Point and Alex Killorn when the Lightning find themselves in the 5×5 situations. Kucherov has lit the lamp 29 times to go along with 40 assists and will look to improve on that total this evening.
