Tampa Bay at Los Angeles

This is the second road game of a five-game trip for Tampa Bay some 3,000 miles from home. They are 2-3 the last five games and this is the middle of a stretch of playing 8 of 11 away. Tampa Bay had to play last night and the team is 1-4 after a victory, plus the Lightning are 2-5 on the road. Tampa Bay is also 17-55 on the road against a team with a winning home record. LA is home and rested, improving to #11 in the NHL in goals allowed after a 3-1 win over fast-skating Washington. They have won four in a row.
