In their recent outing against the Washington Capitals, it was a nail-biting finish that saw the Lightning emerge victorious in a shootout. Despite scoring only once during regulation and overtime, they managed to secure two points thanks to their unwavering defense and goaltending – which boasted an impeccable 100 percent save rate.

The offensive firepower was more evident in their clash with the Vegas Golden Knights. The Lightning struck with precision, netting five goals on 36 shots – translating to an impressive shooting percentage of 14 percent. Their power play unit shone brightly as well, capitalizing on half of their opportunities.

Their dominance was even more pronounced when they faced off against St. Louis Blues at home. With six goals from just 33 shots (an astounding shooting percentage of 18 percent), they left no doubt about their attacking prowess. Moreover, winning faceoffs at a rate of 58 percent helped them control the game's tempo.

However, as they prepare for battle against New York Islanders away from home turf at UBS Arena, maintaining this momentum will be crucial. The Islanders will be looking to leverage home advantage and disrupt Tampa Bay's rhythm.

Fans can expect another thrilling encounter where every shift counts and every shot could turn the tide. With both teams bringing unique strengths to the ice, it promises to be an engaging spectacle for hockey enthusiasts.

Mark your calendars for February 9th at 8 PM Eastern Time when ESPN channel 206 will broadcast this highly anticipated matchup live from Belmont Park's UBS Arena.
