NHL Game Plan

The Breakdown

As predicted, the Lightning came out and absolutely smoked Dallas in Game Three, in the process, taking a 2-1 series lead. Steven Stamkos made a surprise return, even scoring a goal on his first and only shot. However, he also ended up leaving the game early, only spending a total of three minutes on the ice. Heading into game four, Stamkos status is up in the air.

Nevertheless, Tampa Bay has all of the momentum at this point. If Dallas wins this game, it will be playing a style of hockey similar to the Islanders, where they will surrender most of the possession in order to play off of the counter attack. That style, while tactically logical, does not lend itself to fantasy much goodness. Therefore, it’s time to “ride the lightning” once again.
