The Tampa Bay Lightning will be looking to bounce back after a loss in Game 1 to the Montreal Canadiens.
The Lightning will have a few lineup changes, with Declan Carlile taking the place of injured defenseman Charle-Edouard D'Astous and gritty forward Scott Sabourin entering the lineup for Conor Geekie.
Sabourin and Canadiens defenseman Arber Xhekaj have some history, with Xhekaj causing Sabourin to miss considerable time back in December after a fight between the two. As a result, that could be something to watch as the game progresses.
The game is set to be broadcast on ESPN2 nationally in the United States and The Spot in the Tampa market. For those north of the border, it'll be available on Sportsnet, CBC, and TVA Sports.
