Lightning Continue to Roll as They Head to New York, New York

By: Philip Wunderlich

After a win against the Buffalo Sabres the Bolts head over to New York City to face the New York Islanders. The Islanders are coming off a loss to their division foe, New York Rangers. The Bolts have several players over 60 points whereas the Islanders have only one player over 40 points in Matthew Barzal. Barzal will be the player to watch for the Bolts as he is an offensive power house and he can make plays just like Nikita Kucherov single-handedly. The Lightning will have Andrei Vasilevskiy in net tonight as they played Louis Domingue last night against the Sabres. Let’s see how the teams match-up as far as their lines.
