The Lightning are doing something unique for their contest against the Jets.
The Tampa Bay Lightning will face the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night (Nov. 14). The Jets are currently the hottest team in the NHL, having won 15 out of their first 16 games. However, the Lightning will now look to hand them their second loss of the season.
While speaking to reporters, head coach Jon Cooper revealed that the Lightning will use a unique strategy against the Jets. Instead of dressing 12 forwards and six defensemen, the Lightning will sport seven defensemen and 11 forwards aginst Winnipeg.
With this news, Lightning defenseman Darren Raddysh will once again be in the lineup. He last played on Nov. 3 against the Jets.
It will be very interesting to see if this lineup change helps the Lightning break their current four-game losing streak from here.
