The Tampa Bay Lightning are one of the hottest teams in the league right now and they have a great chance to keep that up when they host the Boston Bruins on Saturday afternoon.
The Boston Bruins endured a crushing 3-2 defeat against the Carolina Hurricanes, undone by a costly misstep in the dying seconds of the game. This latest setback only adds to Boston’s recent struggles, sparking concerns about their ability to sustain form as the playoffs draw closer.
With inconsistency plaguing their performances, this last-gasp loss has intensified speculation surrounding their trade approach ahead of the looming deadline.
Meanwhile, the Lightning are riding a wave of momentum, currently sitting third in the Atlantic Division with 78 points. Tampa Bay has been on fire, outscoring opponents 27-12 in seven games since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. Jake Guentzel bagged a hat trick in the second period as the Lightning rallied for a 6-5 victory against the Buffalo Sabres at Amalie Arena on Thursday.
Adding to their firepower, Tampa Bay made a major move before the trade deadline on Wednesday, acquiring Yanni Gourde and Oliver Bjorkstrand from Seattle in exchange for a package that included two first-round draft picks.
