Year after year, the Tampa Bay Lightning have been tough to beat at home and this year is no different. Tampa is 4-0-1 at Amelie Arena and that is where they will be tonight when they host the Seattle Kraken. The Bolts are hot, winners of their last two, both at Amalie, blanking the San Jose Sharks on Saturday, 6-0, and prior to that shutting out a really good Carolina Hurricanes team, 3-0. The Kraken’s struggles continue. After Saturday’s 3-2 loss to the Florida Panthers in Sunrise, they are now 2-5-2 overall and 1-3-2 on the road. The Lightning have faced the Kraken four times since Seattle entered the NHL in 2021, and they have won all 4 meetings, outscoring them 17-4.
