About the Lightning: Tampa Bay comes in rested for its first meeting this season with Dallas. Their league-mandated bye week began after last Saturday’s win at Winnipeg. The timing couldn’t have been worse. In their previous four outings, the Lightning had won three times and lost a shootout at Minnesota, earning points in four consecutive games for the first time since November. Still, they sit 14th in the Eastern Conference and six points out of a potential playoff spot.
