WHAT TO WATCH FOR:
The Pens will look to get their fifth straight victory tonight, which would establish a season-high win streak. … Tonight marks the first meeting between the teams since Pittsburgh eliminated Tampa Bay in 7 games during the Eastern Conference Final to advance to the Stanley Cup Final. … This is the Pens' first visit to Amalie Arena since a 5-2 win in Game 6, arguably the biggest win of Pittsburgh's Cup run. … As if that wasn't enough motivation for the Lightning, they are coming off a 5-1 loss to Vancouver on Thursday and are three points out of a playoff spot. … Matt Murray was the first goalie off the ice and Mike Sullivan confirmed he would get his second straight start.
MORNING SKATE REPORT:
* Crosby, Kessel, Hornqvist and Letang all took the option to stay off the ice. The Pens did not do line rushes.
