Lightning vs Wild: Turning Point Tonight

0:00On March 3rd, here's the latest out of Tampa Bay. The Tampa Bay Lightning are facing some tough times after the Olympic break. They've dropped two of their first three games back, including a rough six-two loss to the Buffalo Sabers on Saturday. That defeat put them on a two-game skid for the first time since December. The Sabers jumped out to a four-go lead in the first period alone, and Tampa Bay just couldn't climb out of that hole, despite a lay push. Fans are feeling the frustration as the Lightning sit at 38 wins, 16 losses, and four ties for 80 points in the standings. It's their first mini-slump in months, and the pressure is on to bounce back quick. Now they're kicking off a four-game road trip tonight against the Minnesota Wild, who also have 80 points with 35 wins, 16 losses, and 10 ties. Both teams are evenly matched, so this matchup at 9.30pm Eastern on March 3rd could be a turning point. Check the Lightning to come out fired up at the Grand Casino Arena in Minnesota.
