GAME OF THE WEEK

Ottawa at Tampa Bay, today, 4 PST

This will be a matchup between two of the league’s most surprising teams. The Northeast Division-leading Senators have been on a tear, winning eight of their last 10 games before losing to Nashville, 3-2, on Monday. The Lightning lead the Southeast Division with 42 points and are coming off an impressive victory over the New York Rangers. Tampa Bay is 11-4-1-1 at home.
