[Bolts_26]

The Lightning (32-32-7, 71 Points) take on the Buffalo Sabres (33-29-10, 76 Points) as the Sabres fight along with the Jets and Caps for the final playoff seed.

It is expected that Dustin Tokarski will make the start.

Lightning forward Ryan Malone has points in seven of his past nine games with three goals and nine points in that span. For Buffalo, Tyler Ennis is currently enjoying a four-game point streak while rookie forward Marcus Foligno has three goals and two assists over his first five NHL games.

“We're not giving up. It's easy to get down on ourselves and easy to fold the tent in, but you really show who you are when you've got some adversity.” – Lightning forward Teddy Purcell, on the mindset of the team entering Monday’s game

One of the rare times we have a game on Monday, and I have to work (also rare on Monday).

Forgot to mention, Shannon is also expected to be out. LaBrie was called up this afternoon.

I of course meant the anniversary of their last Super Bowl victory.

This could be interpreted in a few different ways -- especially in a game against Buffalo
