Tampa Bay Lightning
A trip to play the lowly Flyers couldn’t come at a better time for a Lightning team that is looking to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to the Boston Bruins earlier this week. Tampa just couldn’t get their game going, losing to a Bruins team that is quickly surpassing them as the favorites to win the Eastern Conference this spring.
Andrei Vasilevskiy will be looking to bounce back from a tough outing against the Bruins. Taylor Hall beat him twice in a game where Vasilevskiy made just 23 saves in the loss.
Facing the Flyers is a chance for the Lightning’s penalty kill to get back on track and hopefully improve their numbers. At the moment the Lightning rank 20th in the league with a 76.9% success rate killing penalties but are facing a Flyers team that ranks dead last on the powerplay.
Philadelphia Flyers
A ten game losing streak finally came to an end on Tuesday night when a two goal night from Kevin Hayes gave the Flyers a 3-1 win over the New York Islanders.
Travis Sanheim also scored and Lukáš Sedlák added two assists for Philadelphia in the win, opening an important five game homestand off on the right foot. The Flyers desperately need a quick heater to undo the damage the ten game skid did to their playoff aspirations.
Carter Hart made 23 saves in the win over the Islanders on a night where he didn’t see much traffic. Hart has been fantastic this season, holding a .917 save percentage but hasn’t had enough help from the team playing in front of him to get wins.
Overtime has been a bane of the Flyers season so far. Philadelphia has five losses in overtime as potential wins out of close games are getting left on the ice far too often for the struggling team.
