#TB LIGHTNING VS NY ISLANDERS SERIES#

Overall in latest seasons, the Islanders don't have a good record against the Lightning at their home ice with the last win at Amalie Arena dated back to December 2019. In the first game (also at Amalie Arena), the Bolts defeated the Islanders them 5-3. Andrei Vasilevskiy made 18 saves for the Tampa Bay Lightning in a 1-0 win against the New York Islanders in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Semifinals at Amalie Arena in Tampa. This is the second meeting between two teams this season. The Islanders also have been without Mathew Barzal since the late February, who could potentially miss the start of the playoffs if the Isles are going to make it. On the other side Pierre Engvall has been a great addition, scoring five goals in 12 games with the Isles, including two goals in their two most recent games. The Islanders' biggest acquisition at the trade deadline Bo Horvat couldn't get his scoring touch back from Vancouver, scoring just six goals and 12 points in 24 games with the new team. The Isles are currently in the first wild card spot, leading the Pittsburgh Penguins by three points (although they have a game in hand) and the Florida Panthers by four points. The next two days will be very challenging for the Islanders as after facing the Bolts tonight, they're playing against the Canes on Sunday. The Islanders, who are coming to Amalie Arena tonight, also have a two-game winning streak, defeating the Washington Capitals and the New Jersey Devils in their two last games.

Against the Carolina Hurricanes he played his career-high TOI in the NHL, finishing the game with 20:55 on the clock after 24 shifts. In 11 games with the Bolts, he's averaging 15:02 per game, which is more than Zach Bogosian and Haydn Fleury this season – his main opponents for a lineup spot. It also seems like the Lightning coaching staff almost decided on how their defensive pairings will look like at the start of the postseason: Darren Raddysh, who made his season debut just at the beginning of March, became the team's sixth defenceman, missing just one game out of the Lightning's last ten games. That's a very promising sign ahead of the playoffs, given the issues the Lightning had at their blue line the whole season. Heading into tonight's game against the Isles, the Lightning have a two-game winning streak, outscoring their opponents 9-1 in their last two games and allowing just three goals since their 7-2 debacle against the Ottawa Senators last week. The Lightning are also in the race for a second place in the Atlantic Division, but that would require a big amount of luck besides a necessity of not losing points in the remaining games. The Lightning will have a chance to clinch their playoff berth tonight against a highly-motivated New York Islanders team, who are still battling for the postseason as well. First of all, the Bolts still need to secure their spot in the upcoming postseason, which frankly now seems like a formality with the Lightning having almost 100 percent odds of making playoffs by many betting sites.
