Philadelphia Flyers vs. Tampa Bay Lightning preview

The red-hot Tampa Bay Lightning roll into Wells Fargo Center looking to extend their impressive run against a Flyers team that's hit rock bottom.

Tampa's dynamic duo of Kucherov and Hagel has been lighting up scoreboards, combining for a whopping 163 points this season, while the Flyers' offense has gone ice-cold with just five goals in their last four games.

The Bolts' brick wall Andrei Vasilevskiy has been in stellar form, boasting a .919 save percentage and making game-changing saves that've kept Tampa in the Atlantic Division's top three.

Philly's defensive woes continue to mount - they've leaked 22 goals in their last five games, and their netminder Samuel Ersson's struggles aren't helping matters.

While the Flyers' young gun Matvei Michkov has shown flashes of brilliance alongside veteran Travis Konecny, they're swimming against the tide against Tampa's well-oiled machine.

Victor Hedman's been quarterbacking Tampa's offense from the blue line with 50 points, making him a constant threat the Flyers' shaky defense will need to contain.

This cross-division matchup at the Wells Fargo Center has all the makings of a classic David vs. Goliath story - though David's slingshot might be running low on ammo this time around.
