Scouting the Lightning
Fresh off their best win of the postseason, the Lightning could be getting some big names back in the lineup. Anton Stralman, Matthew Carle and J.T. Brown all skated in practice on Monday and could be available for Game 3. Tampa Bay killed off four Islanders power plays, but they need to stay out of the box on Tuesday.
Scouting the Islanders
New York must improve on its power play to avoid a 2-1 series deficit. The Islanders didn't score on all but one of five power play chances and barely tested Lightning goalie Ben Bishop with eight shots in the final two periods. They'll probably get Josh Bailey and Ryan Pulock back in Game 3 from injuries, which should improve their offensive capabilities.
