The Tampa Bay Lightning will host the 2017 Stanley Cup Champion, Pittsburgh Penguins, tonight at AMALIE Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 PM E.T. This will be the first time the two teams face off against one another this season.
Starting Goaltender
Andrei Vasilevskiy will make his fourth consecutive start between the pipes for Lightning tonight. It is nice to see him getting a large workload right out of the gate, as Tampa Bay will heavily depend on him this season.
Paquette Out
Cedric Paquette will not play tonight but it does not appear to be a long-term issue that is keeping him sidelined. Expect Gabriel Dumont to take his place.
