Game Preview: vs. Edmonton


Busy day, here's a game preview courtesy of Yahoo! Sports:

The last two games have provided further proof that the Tampa Bay Lightning are still a team searching for a No. 1 goaltender.

The Lightning hope to avoid their first three-game losing streak in almost three months Wednesday night when they continue a six-game road trip against the Edmonton Oilers.

Tampa Bay hasn't lost three straight since a four-game skid from Dec. 9-16, but is just 3-7-0 all-time in Edmonton.

Currently 13 points out of a playoff spot with 16 games remaining, the Oilers (30-30-6) likely will miss the playoffs for second time in three seasons.

It wasn't enough to avoid their fourth straight loss, but Edmonton did end the third-longest scoring drought in team history Saturday in a 4-2 loss to rival Calgary.

The Lightning have two straight 3-2 wins over the Oilers after losing the previous six meetings.


Go Bolts!
