After losing to the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night, the Tampa Bay Lightning’s chances to win the division and clinch the home-ice advantage for later playoffs rounds have drastically dropped. With 16 games left in the regular season, the Lightning are nine points behind the Bruins and it seems almost impossible to close that gap, although both teams still have one face-to-face meeting later this week.
No big changes on injury side. After a game against the Bruins, Jon Cooper confirmed that Steven Stamkos’ surgery went well and the timeline of his return didn’t change, which means that the Lightning captain won’t be available for the next 6-8 weeks.
