Kevin, let's start with the big picture.
The Lightning come into tonight with a record of 101.
What is the single biggest storyline heading into this contest?
The storyline is resilience, Nicole.
That's a solid spot, but it's fragile after yesterday.
They are physical, they are fast, and they know how to disrupt neutral zone play.
Right, and we talked about this just yesterday on the show.
Matthew would score two goals for the Predators, Roman Josi had an assist, and the Lightning looked a bit disjointed.
It absolutely carries over if they don't make adjustments.
When you lose players like Yanni Gourde and Dominic James, both listed as out, you lose a lot of defensive structure.
So the pressure is entirely on the coaching staff to shuffle the lines correctly.
We saw Jeffrey Veilleux step up in Nashville with a goal, Pontus Holmberg with an assist, but can they replicate that energy against a team like Florida who presses high?
They have to, and that brings us to the second piece of this puzzle, goaltending.
We haven't heard much about the netminder yet in this preview, but in a rivalry game like this, the goalie wins games.
