Tampa Bay Lightning Set to Strike at Mullett Arena Against Arizona Coyotes
As the Tampa Bay Lightning prepare to face off against the Arizona Coyotes at Mullett Arena, fans can anticipate an electrifying game. The Lightning have been showcasing a strong performance in their recent outings, with a notable victory over the Colorado Avalanche in a shootout after tying 3-3 in regulation time. Their resilience was on full display as they managed to secure the win despite being outshot and facing a formidable opponent.
The team's statistics reveal some areas of strength and potential concern. While their shooting percentage has been impressive, hovering around 9 percent in recent games, they have also given away possession more often than they might like. However, their goaltending has been robust with save percentages consistently above 90 percent, providing them with a solid last line of defense.
In terms of special teams play, Tampa Bay's powerplay has had moments of brilliance but also games where it failed to capitalize on opportunities. Their penalty kill unit has been more consistent, which could be crucial against an Arizona squad that may look to exploit any lapses in discipline.
Playing at Mullett Arena presents its own set of challenges and opportunities for the Lightning. As an away game, it will test their ability to maintain focus and composure in a less familiar environment. However, this team has shown that it can rise to such occasions and deliver performances worthy of their high standards.
Fans eager for action can catch this matchup on February 16th at 2:00 AM UTC (February 15th at 9:00 PM EST). The game will be broadcasted nationally on ESPN+ and locally on BSAZ for home viewers and BSSUNX for those cheering from Tampa Bay.
