Bolts come in having lost a game that started 23 hours (thanks for that extra hour of rest for them, daylight savings) before this one.
They've lost four straight after dropping yesterday's game 3-1 to Boston
Stamkos post-game from yesterday: "You've got to go out there and re-prove yourself. No one gives a crap about last year... It's time to shake things up. We've tried different line combinations. Need something to get a spark."
Bishop: "Everyone in the room is pretty pissed off"
Cooper: "Just seemed everyone was looking for someone else to do it instead of themselves. Just kind of snowballed after that. I don't think we've gone through anything like this since my first year."
- Vasilevskiy is apparently a possibility to come back from injury and make his season debut today.
Canes need to come out and kick them while they're down, but this could easily be a wake-up blowout win for Lightning. Should be a huge measuring stick game. Have to take advantage of good teams when they're off their game.
