Location: Nationwide Arena, Columbus, Ohio

Game Overview

Tampa Bay Lightning (1-2-2, struggling defense) visits Columbus Blue Jackets (1-3-0, coming off two straight losses) in a battle of Eastern Conference teams looking to reverse early-season slumps.

Key Factors to Consider

Tampa Bay is scoring 2.8 goals per game (PP: 23.1%) but allowing 3.6 goals against (28th in NHL), with Vasilevskiy facing a high volume of shots[3]. Columbus is weaker defensively but catching Tampa on the second night of a back-to-back, which is significant for fatigue[3]. Both teams are winless in their last two.
Tampa Bay has won 7 of the last 10 meetings, including the last two by scores of 5-3 and 6-2[7]. However, most of those games were in Tampa, and Columbus is at home tonight, where the Lightning have struggled this season.
No major injuries reported for either side in the latest previews[3][7].
Tampa Bay is playing the second leg of a back-to-back, having lost two straight overtime games, suggesting possible fatigue and rest disadvantage[3]. Columbus is at home, well-rested, and has a slight coaching/motivation edge.
Both teams are seeking to halt early-season slides. Columbus, at home with rest, may be slightly more motivated to avoid a third straight loss, while Tampa looks to turn around a poor road/back-to-back record[3].
