The Canadian Road Trip Comes To A Close As the Bolts Face the Leafs

By: Victor Cabrera

Overview

The Lightning look to bounce back after losing 4-2 to the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday as they are hosted by the Toronto Maple Leafs. This is their second to last game and a potential second round opponent of the playoffs. Although both teams have been compared to each other Tampa has been superior through the regular season. Now for a breakdown of the two teams.

 

Tampa Bay Lightning

The Lightning look to finish strong but everything is set for them in the playoffs and are not very pressured in these last two games. With that said they still want to play their style and will want to stay away from the post whistle shenanigans. Callahan will draw in for Miller.

Toronto Maple Leafs

The Leafs are playing a high level opponent they may run into during the playoffs but this game is not a measuring stick for that scenario. Both teams are playing to finish the regular season. If these two teams do meet it in the playoffs it will be after they have each battled through a playoff series. They suffer from the losses of Muzzin and Kadri in the lineup.
