The reigning Stanley Cup champions, the Tampa Bay Lightning, will be on the road tonight for a matchup with the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Lightning are once again looking like the best team in hockey, which they are, after downing the Chicago Blackhawks in their first two games of the 2021 campaign by a combined score of 10-3. Tortorella’s team has not looked sharp thus far, with a record of 1-2-1, and will have their hands full with the Bolts. Tampa is 5-1 in their last 6 with the Jackets overall and 9-3 in their last 12 trips to Columbus.
