As the first week of training camp comes to a close, the practices have started to settle into a rhythm. The novelty of new teammates has worn off and it’s time to get back to work as the Tampa Bay Lightning prepare for their first preseason game on Monday in Carolina. With a few practices under their belts, it’s a good time to check in on the lines that have been showcased at times in practice.
For the most part, there are no real surprises to the combinations, and there is a good chance, barring injury, that opening night will look something like what the Bolts are displaying in practice.
