The Tampa Bay Lightning are ready for redemption following a shocking exit in the first round of the 2019 playoffs after one of the most impressive regular-season finishes.
Second in the Eastern Conference, the Lightning will surely take advantage of the level playing field the round-robin format provides them with. Forward Nikita Kucherov will be expected to shine, having registered 33 goals and 85 points in 68 games this season.
All eyes will be on captain Steven Stamkos, who is coming off an injury that sidelined him prior to the season being put on hold on March 12.
