5* NHL Iceman Game of the Week
(NHL) Tampa Bay vs. Columbus,
Money Line: -136.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Loss
The Tampa Bay Lightning tied an NHL record with 62 regular-season victories.

They're going to need to match another mark to remain in the playoffs.



The Lightning find themselves in that position following a 3-1 defeat Sunday night at the Columbus Blue Jackets, who will play host to Game 4 on Tuesday night. Teams that have been up 3-0 have gone on to post a 186-4 record when it comes to winning the series.


No team that won the Presidents' Trophy has ever been swept in the first round of the playoffs and we look for TAMPA to come out strong here on Tuesday night and get a win.

The Lightning played Game 3 without Nikita Kucherov, who led the league with 128 points in the regular season. Kucherov was suspended one game by the NHL Department of Player Safety for boarding Columbus defenseman Markus Nutivaara late in the third period of Game 2. HIs return will help the Lightning tonight for sure!
