KEY FACTS:
• The Coyotes are 1-2-0 at the midpoint of a six-game road trip, including back-to-back losses at Carolina and Florida.
• Arizona Head Coach Rick Tocchet served as head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning from 2008-10. This will be his first game at Amalie Arena as the head coach of the visiting team.
Antti Raanta will start in goal after serving as backup to Darcy Kuemper the past two games. Raanta is 2-2-0 vs. Tampa Bay in his career with a 1.99 goals-against average and a .940 save percentage in those games.

Clayton Keller will enter tonight's game with an eight-game point streak and needing just one goal to set a Coyotes rookie record for goals in a season. With 22 goals, Keller is tied with Peter Mueller, who scored 22 in 2007-08.
Derek Stepan, who has notched four consecutive multi-point games, has produced 19 points in 24 games vs. Tampa Bay, including eight goals. With a team-high 40 assists, Stepan needs just one more helper to set a new career-high for assists in one season.

• Per the Tampa Bay Times, former Coyotes goalie Louis Domingue will start in goal for the Bolts, who rank first in the Eastern Conference with 106 points. Domingue played 84 games for the Coyotes from 2014-18, including seven last October. Domingue has won six of eight starts with the Lightning and has a 2.84 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage in nine games with Tampa Bay. The Lightning are 27-8-2 at home, and lead the NHL in wins (51), goals (272), and goal differential (+59). Nikita Kucherov ranks second in the NHL with 95 points (37 goals, 58 assists), trailing only Edmonton's Connor McDavid (99). Viktor Hedman ranks seventh among NHL defensemen with 55 points, despite missing five games. Captain Steven Stamkos will not play because of a lower-body injury.

COYOTE BITES
• "You just need to be on your toes all the time. You can't take any easy outlets, you need to stay inside the game. (Nikita) Kucherov and (Steven) Stamkos, they will shoot the puck from pretty much anywhere ... You're going to need to stay calm, but be ready to move and to make the saves." -- Antti Raanta on tending net vs. Tampa Bay
• "They have a great power play. You can't let those guys get out there and have too many opportunities. We've got to be disciplined and stay out of the box. I think that's the biggest thing. If we let them get out there, they're going to take advantage if they get enough opportunities ... We just need to play our game. I think we're good enough to play with any team in the League. Hopefully, if we play fast and physical and keep up with their speed we'll be good." -- Dylan Strome on playing Tampa Bay
• "I feel like we've been taking a couple steps back the last couple games so we've been talking a lot about getting better and doing the right things and sticking to the game plan. I feel like we haven't done that in the last two games." -- Oliver Ekman-Larsson on two-game losing streak
