Players to target: Ondrej Palat, Brayden Point, Nikita Kucherov, and Victor Hedman
If you've been using the Tampa Bay Lightning lately, you've probably really enjoyed it.
Nikita Kucherov is on fire in his last 10 games, notching 20 points and 46 shots on goal in that span. We should look for more of the same tonight in a dream home matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have struggled defensively. The Leafs have given up at least 32 shots on goal in each of their last nine home games.
Regardless of the top line's matchup, Tampa Bay should generate a bunch of shots and scoring chances against Toronto's leaky defense.
The point line has posted 80.1 Corsi For per 60 minutes in their three games together, and each of Toronto's top three lines allows at least 55 Corsi Against per 60 minutes and 8.8 Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes.
