Now that they have two wins consecutive wins under their belt, the Tampa Bay Lightning will look to start an official winning streak in Edmonton tonight.
They'll face a tough test, as the Edmonton Oilers have made it to the Stanley Cup Final each of the last two seasons, but they're without a key piece of their lineup, Leon Draisaitl. Edmonton currently sits second in the Pacific Division with 77 points on the season.
Connor McDavid's offensive production has been lower than we've come to expect from the 29-year-old superstar in recent games, as he's recorded five points in his last five outings. Meanwhile, Nikita Kucherov has caught up to him in points, as the Russian forward trails McDavid's league-leading 115 points by just a single point.
The last time these two teams met was back in November, when the Lightning picked up a 2-1 victory over the Oilers.
As usual, the game will be broadcast on The Spot in the Tampa market, while for those north of the border, it'll be available on CBC, Sportsnet, TVA Sports 2, and CITY.
