Tonight’s game against the Anaheim Ducks kicks off a five-game homestand for the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Winnipeg Jets, Detroit Red Wings, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Nashville Predators follow them before the Bolts take to the road again on April 24th (all the way to Sunrise). By the time the stretch of games is over we should have a pretty good idea of where the Lightning will stand in regards to the playoff race.
In all likelihood they will have clinched a playoff spot by then, and the only question will be if they can move all the way up to the second spot in the Atlantic and home ice advantage for the first round.
