The Tampa Bay Lightning (5-4) will host the Ottawa Senators (4-4) on Tuesday, November 1. NHL action continues into November with a packed schedule tonight, and we have a full breakdown of this matchup between the Lightning and the Senators.
The Ottawa Senators bring their current two-game losing streak and even worse road-losing streak to Tampa in desperate search of momentum this season. The Senators are fresh off a 3-5 loss against the Florida Panthers and will hope to head back north with a better result after this one.
The Tampa Bay Lightning will look to return home to Tampa and build on their two-game win streak. Their most recent win was an impressive 4-3 finish over the Sharks.
