The Lightning are keeping on the road in this game here. However, this time the road trip to the opponent is a lot shorter than what it was before as the Lightning are playing the Islanders on Friday night. Now the Lightning are going to be playing the other New York team here and the Rangers are a shell of the Islanders and are nothing like the Islanders on the season. That should make it a little bit easier for the Lightning to play this game even when they are playing in back to back games.
The Lightning on the season have been able to score at a clip of 3.96 goals a game on the season, but have allowed only 2.88 goals a game so far. The Lightning on the power play have converted at 29.8%, but have killed off 83.9%.
With the Rangers the season has not gone nearly as good as what they would have liked and they are really struggling as the team has only managed to score 2.76 goals a game. The Rangers have allowed 3.32 goals a game. When it comes to the power play the Rangers have converted at 21.1%, but the team has killed off 76.6%.
