Can Lightning Strike Down Senators at Amalie Arena?

As the Tampa Bay Lightning prepare to host the Ottawa Senators at Amalie Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its impressive performance. The Lightning have been showcasing a formidable trend in recent games, with a notable victory against the Vegas Golden Knights where they scored five points and demonstrated a strong powerplay, converting two out of four opportunities.

The team's ability to capitalize on powerplays was also evident in their game against the St. Louis Blues, where they scored one goal from three chances. This trend suggests that special teams could play a significant role in the upcoming match against the Senators.

Defensively, Tampa Bay has been solid as well. Their goaltending has been exceptional with save percentages rounding up to 100 percent across recent games. This defensive reliability will be crucial when facing Ottawa's offense.

Another aspect worth noting is Tampa Bay's faceoff win percentage which has been above fifty percent in both victories over Vegas and St. Louis – an indicator of their control over puck possession that could be pivotal in dictating the pace against Ottawa.

While statistics are favorable for Tampa Bay Lightning, hockey fans know that every game is a new challenge and past performance is no guarantee of future results. However, it’s clear that if they maintain their current level of play—especially on special teams and goaltending—they stand a good chance of securing another win for their supporters.

Fans can catch all the action live on February 20th at Amalie Arena or tune into ESPN+ nationally or BSSUN locally (channel 653) for broadcast coverage.
