The Tampa Bay Lightning were slow out of the gate but are starting to find their groove. The 3-time Stanley Cup Champions have won two straight and will open a 3-game West Coast road trip tonight against the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto Arena. The Kings have lost their last two and are still winless on their home ice, at 0-2. Jonathan Quick is expected to get the call in net tonight for the Kings. The veteran is 1-3 with a 3.94 GAA and a .889 SV%. The Lightning are expected to have Andrei Vasilevskiy between the pipes. The Big Cat is 2-2 with a 2.52 GAA, a .922 SV%, and is 7-2 in his career against LA. To say the Lightning have owned the Kings would be an understatement. The Bolts are 11-1 in the last 12 meetings and 5-0 in their last 5 in LA.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNINGÂ
