The Lightning have risen and stayed at the No. 1 spot in the NHL and the Eastern Conference. Winners of 11 of their last 15 games, they hold a 23-8-5 record with 51 points. They are three ahead of the Capitals for the lead in the conference.

Boston ranks fifth in goal against which speaks volumes of its defensive talent. However, it only ranks No. 25 in goals scored with 86 on the season. Its offense needs to start putting numbers on the board.

What makes for an interesting game between these two teams is that Tampa Bay is exactly the opposite. It has a top-talent offense ranking No. 4 in goals scored and a mediocre defense that ranks just No. 19 in goals scored against it with 101.
