The Lightning missed the playoffs last year. Having All-Star center Steven Stamkos (10 goals, 26 assists in 23 games) back in the lineup has made a world of difference. Tampa Bay has been blessed by good health thus far. The Bruins have six players on the shelf at press time. They are just ravished with injuries.
That includes last year’s top scorer, LW Brad Marchand. He has eight goals, seven assists in 14 games. He’s iffy for Wednesday after missing over two weeks with an undisclosed upper-body injury.
Boston will have the advantage of rest in this matchup. The Lightning also had to play Tuesday in Buffalo. Andrei Vasilevskiy has .930 save percentage and is projected to play for Tampa Bay. Veteran netminder Tuukka Rask has a .899 SV%. He is expected to suit up for the Bruins. Rask, a former Vezina winner, is having the worst season of his career. He could lose his job to Anton Khudobin, who as a .932 SV%.
