The Tampa Bay Lightning are going to have a pretty light schedule over the next month or so. With just 8 games scheduled from now until the end of February, it’s a good time for the team to get healthy and regroup for what will be a slightly condensed run to the playoffs.
The combination of a small break following their west coast trip, combined with the upcoming All-Star break, mixed with what would have been the much longer Olympic break has led to the Bolts being off until this Thursday (a four-day break), Then they have a regular stretch of three games in six days before most of the team gets eight days off for the All-Star break.
