Game Day- Tampa Bay Visit Toronto



The Lightning take their talent to Toronto to pay a visit to the struggling Leafs. Toronto's record this year is 8-11-3, and losers of two straight. The Lightning on the other hand are 13-8-3 after losing in a shootout to Atlanta on Saturday. In the only previous meeting of the season Tampa blanked the Leafs 4-0 at the St. Pete Times Forum.



The Leafs are coming off a shutout to the Senators and have only scored one goal in their last two games. They have however won three straight at home and have scored twelve goals in those games. The Lightning have lost two straight on the road with a combined total of eight goals allowed in those games.
Starting Goalies (Expected): GP W L OTL SO GAA SV%

Jonas Gustavsson 11 3 6 1 0 2.45 .917

Dan Ellis 14 5 4 3 2 2.85 .895


I expect a very fast paced game as both teams are known for their quickness. Steven Stamkos hasn't scored in two games, but expect him to pick up a goal or two in Toronto. The Lightning's main concern has to be Mikhael Grabvoski who always has a knack to pick up points against the Bolts.

Predictions:5-3 Lightning

Three Stars:

1. Steven Stamkos- 2 goals 1 assist

2. Nikolai Kulemin- 1 goal 1 assist

3. Martin St. Louis- 2 assists
