The Tampa Bay Lightning are coming upon the end of their six-game home stand. Tonight, the Lightning will open the doors to the Amalie Arena to play the fifth game in their home stand as they do battle with Henrik Lundqvist and the New York Rangers. Needless to say, this is going to be quite the challenge for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
This is the second time these two Eastern Conference rivals have met this season. The last time these two teams met in the center of the ice, the Tampa Bay Lightning stole a 2-1 win from the Rangers with a short-handed goal from Lightning center Valtteri Filppula late in the third period.
