Lightning revisit Rangers with Kucherov and Point on listed top line
Tampa Bay gets a second meeting with New York on Tuesday after losing the season opener 5-1.
The Tampa Bay Lightning return to Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, Oct. 13, for a 7:15 p.m. ET game against the New York Rangers. New York won their first meeting 5-1 on Oct. 1.
Tampa Bay’s latest lineup guide lists Gage Goncalves alongside Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov, with Brandon Hagel, Anthony Cirelli and Jake Guentzel on the next forward line. Those combinations come from Saturday’s game and remain subject to change.
The listed defence pairs are JJ Moser with John Carlson, Ryan McDonagh with Erik Cernak, and Victor Hedman with Max Crozier.
Kucherov scored Tampa Bay’s only goal in the season opener, when Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 20 of 24 shots. The Lightning’s next home game is Thursday against Seattle.
