This isn’t last year’s Tampa Bay Lightning as they currently sit in the 11th spot in the Eastern Conference although it is worth noting that, in addition to winning three straight games, they’ve played a lot less games than the teams around them. The Jets sit sixth in the Western Conference and hope that the 4-3 win over the Panthers on Thursday will continue into today’s game.
