The Tampa Bay Lightning have another opportunity to punch their ticket to the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs tonight, as they host the Boston Bruins. The Bruins, who currently sit in the Eastern Conference's first Wild Card spot, are just six points behind the Lightning and are looking to secure their place in the postseason as well. Tonight will also mark the end of the Lightning's seven-game homestand, as they'll play the next four games on the road before returning to Benchmark International Arena to close out the regular season with two more home games. Tonight's game will be broadcast on The Spot and NESNplus.
