Exactly one week ago, Connor Bedard and former Bolt Corey Perry came to Amalie Arena and lit it up. After a tough week of losses, the Lightning are looking for redemption.
Erik Cernak, who skated next to Victor Hedman in practice yesterday could be back in the lineup tonight, which will help ease some of their defensive struggles.
In the Lightning’s seven games so far in November, they have given up the opening goal in the first period for five of them. Of those five, the Lightning would go on to win just one of those games.
The key here? Get on the board early and don't let up.
