Another big east match up with lots of potential play off implications. Only 10 pts separate Caps-TB with 9 teams between them. 6 of them square off tonight. The other 5 all played last night and all but NJ won. This puts the pressure on the teams tonight. If the Habs can win in reg they would be 1 pt behind the Bolts.
I think Tampa is the better team in many ways but may not win this one because of PP vs PK. Habs are streaky and rely on the PP and Price to win games. They rank 25th in 5 on 5 GF where TB ranks 5th. TB is 14th in PIM averaging 10.4 PIM/game. Their PK ranks 22nd and has an 80% giving up 5 SA. Game could come down to how much time the Bolts spend in the box. If they spend 10 min in the box in this one Habs will rack up 2 maybe 3 PP goals which will more than compensate for the better 5 on 5 play the Bolts bring into the game.
Might be a no play for me because of this update: Both Ben Bishop and Cedrick Desjardins will take the warmup. If Bishop says that he is good-to-go after the warmup, he will start
