The Tampa Bay Lightning has had five days off since their last encounter. While an extended break like this is a double-edged sword, the Lightning seems to be making the most of their opportunity as they make their way into the American Airlines Center to kick off a back-to-back weekend series by taking on the Dallas Stars.
It definitely took a while for the Lightning to get to the place they are in right now, performance wise, but the important thing right now is they keep momentum on their side and continue to bring home much-needed points on a consistent basis.
