The Bolts Look to Face the Pens in a Rematch

By: Philip Wunderlich

A rematch? What are you talking about Philip? I’m talking about an unfortunate loss to the Penguins about a week ago. It was our first game back from the All Star Break and well…the rust showed. The Lightning look to get the win tonight however and let’s find out how they match up.

 

Tampa Bay Outlook:

Again the Bolts are looking to rebound from that loss, however that is not the only loss that they need to rebound from.  The Bolts lost 1-0 the other night as they faced the Blues. The Pens are coming off a 3 game losing streak but the Bolts still need to play that iconic hockey term, “a full 60” tonight so we can come up on top tonight.

 

Tampa Bay Lines:

Offense

Palat – Stamkos – Kucherov

Gourde – Point – Johnson

Killorn – Cirelli – Miller

Erne – Paquette – Joseph

Defense

Hedman – Girardi

McDonagh – Cernak

Coburn – Sergachev

Goalies

Vasilevskiy

Domingue

 

Pittsburgh Outlook:

The Penguins are coming off a 3 game losing streak but based on the roster it looks like an All Star game roster. The All Stars though need to get going if they want to be successful against the top team in the league. The Lightning are no easy team to play against especially inside Amalie Arena.

 

Pittsburgh Lines:

Offense

Guentzel – Crosby – Rust

Pearson – Bjugstad – Kessel

Simon – McCann – Hornqvist

Blueger – Cullen – Wilson

Defense

Petterson – Letang

Dumoulin – Johnson

Maatta – Riikola

Goalies

Murray’s

DeSmith
