PrintKeys to the Game
Hi Bolts Nation, first game between the Lightning and Sabres since October and it's at 7 p.m. on Sun Sports and 970 WFLA. What to watch for:
 |
KEY 1: PRESENCE AT SABRES NET Ryan Miller is expected to start and he's been very tough, with a 1.11 avg. and .962 save pct. in his last 5. If Ryan Malone returns, he's had success in tight on Miller and screening him. |
 |
KEY 2: OUT GUN VANEK He has 23 goals in 26 games against the Bolts, but Stammer, Vinnie and Marty can trump that with the way they've been going. |
 |
KEY 3: ALL HANDS ON DECK That was the theme in the early season wins over Buffalo, with 14 players getting points and Mathieu Garon sterling in goal. He goes again tonight. |
TB has points in 8 of 9 games, while Buffalo has points in 6 straight. Should be a good one tonight. Enjoy the game everyone!
