Lightning try to derail Devils

by Administrator | post a comment

The Tampa Bay Lightning ended one eight-game winning streak on Wednesday. They'll make an effort to snap another one as soon as the New Jersey Devils, the NHL's hottest team, go to the St. Pete Times Forum for example of nine games on Friday's schedule.

The Lightning routed Phoenix 8-3 to absolve the Coyotes' eight-game winning streak. They don't really figure to generate as oftenwithin a 16-1-2 surge.

The 7:30 p.m. ET start is the finale of Tampa Bay's 12-game homestand.

Friday's action begins with three games at 7 p.m. ET.

In Washington, the Caps host the New York Rangers at the Verizon Center inside a game which can be affecting the usa on the NHL Network. The Caps are already off since Monday's 1-0 win at Pittsburgh; the Rangers won 4-3 in a shootout at Carolina on Tuesday.

Carolina stays home for a visit from Pittsburgh, which lost 3-2 in OT to San Jose on Wednesday. Phoenix moves on to Columbus, which blanked Nashville 4-0 on Tuesday.

In addition to the Devils and Lightning, two other games start at 7:30 p.m. Buffalo tries to build on Wednesday's 4-1 victory against Atlanta when Ottawa comes to HSBC Arena. The Senators continue to deal -- they traded Alex Kovalev to Pittsburgh on Thursday, fewer than 1 day after beating Florida 5-1. The game can be seen on RDS in Canada. Atlanta progresses to Florida in a game between two teams that desperately need two points to settle alive from the Eastern Conference playoff race.

At 9 p.m. ET, San Jose visits Calgary, trying to find its sixth win consecutively. The Flames have been off since Tuesday's 3-1 home loss to Boston. Also at 9, Edmonton returns after a 5-1 win at Colorado on Wednesday to host St. Louis.

Minnesota hopes to continue its road success when it visits Anaheim at 10 p.m. ET in the final game of the night. The Ducks have dropped three in a row, including Wednesday's 3-2 home loss to Los Angeles.
