Tampa Bay at Nashville

Tampa Bay is a dog but is loaded with depth, talent and star power. The Lightning expect to have Victor Hedman back in the lineup, a key defensive force. Tampa Bay is 4-1 playing on two days of rest. Tampa Bay has great balance, #11 in the league in goals scored and #13 in goals allowed. Ben Bishop set a team record for career wins as Alex Killorn scored a go-ahead goal with 3:57 left in the third as Tampa Bay beat the Buffalo Sabres 2-1. Tampa Bay got a goal from Vladislav Namestnikov for a second straight game. The 22-year-old had scored nine goals in his previous 63 NHL games, including the playoffs. Nashville is home but just 8-20 at home against a team with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Nashville's Ryan Ellis is day to day after taking a puck to the knee forced him out in Ottawa hurting their depth. Play Tampa Bay.
