TAMPA, Fla. -- The Montreal Canadiens have clinched a playoff spot.
The Tampa Bay Lightning hope to stay in the conversation.
As Montreal arrives at Amalie Arena for Saturday night's Atlantic Division showdown, Tampa Bay hopes the Canadiens will have a little less drive in their game in order for the Lightning to keep driving toward the final playoff spot.
And Tampa Bay hopes to be a bit more healthy than for Thursday's game against Detroit when the Lightning were without Nikita Kucherov, who was unable to play because of illness, to join Tyler Johnson and Steven Stamkos on the sideline.
