Sound discipline is necessary for this evening's game. The Lightning have been excellent on the power play this season. The team has the fifth best power play conversion rate at 22.4%; their ace scorer Steven Stamkos is the league leader in power play goals (13) and points (25); and two other Bolts rank in the top 30 in power play points: Martin St. Louis with 22 (2 G, 20 A, tied for 3rd in the NHL) and Ryan Malone with 16 (8 G, 8 A, tied for 19th). While the Devils' penalty killers have been pretty good this season, handing Tampa Bay power plays like they did to Philadelphia on Saturday will spell disaster for them. The Devils' goal should be to stay calm, collected, in position, and keep this game at 5-on-5 as much as possible.
I have a few more thoughts on this evening's game after the jump. Please visit Raw Charge for a Tampa Bay based perspective for this game.
Star-divide
If nothing else, I want to emphasize this point. The Lightning are not good at 5-on-5 hockey. The Devils have been terrible at even strength this season and I pointed that out compared to past seasons in this recent post. In looking up the numbers at Behind the Net, I found that the Tampa Bay Lightning are just ahead of New Jersey in terms of 5-on-5 shooting percentage at 88.9% (Devils are at 88.2%) and only ahead of the Devils and Islanders in goals allowed per 60 minutes with 2.9 (Devils at 3.2, Islanders at 3.0). They've been leaking goals at even strength, and it's a big reason why they made a trade for Dwayne Roloson. Whether or not it has been mostly their fault, I do not know; but Dan Ellis (who may start, if the Lightning want to give Roloson a rest after playing last night) and Mike Smith just got beaten over and over.
