The penultimate preseason game for the Tampa Bay Lightning will take place tonight at 7:00 PM at Amalie Arena as the Bolts host the Florida Panthers for the middle game of their three-game series this week.
I would expect to see a line-up close to what we can expect in the regular season as the regulars look to get some game action in before the real hockey starts next Tuesday. Matt Tomkins is likely to be in net as he gets his final tune-up as the back-up netminder.
We’ll try and update the lines after the morning practice session to see exactly how Coach Cooper will deploy the lines as he makes the final tweaks to the roster.
