The Lightning are coming into the game here and should be well rested as they have not played in September. The one thing that the Tampa Bay team has to avoid doing is falling to the point of being rusty from the extended period of time off. What could really help the Lightning out in the game is the fact that their opponent had to play in 7 very difficult games to reach this point.

With the game here the Islanders are going to come in a little bit on the tired side. At the same time, the Islanders do have a good offense and a defense that is able to keep the opponent in fits. The Lightning, though, area team that is well rested and coming into the game here with plenty of time to study their opponents in the game here. Look for the Islanders to come into the game and put up a fight defensively, but the offense of Tampa will make it harder for the Islanders to win the game and that is why the Lightning win this game. Final Score, Tampa Bay Lightning win 4-2.
