Two teams looking for some consistency meet up on Wednesday night, as the Tampa Bay Lightning get set to host the New York Rangers.<\/p>\n
The Lightning might not be getting any younger, but that has not completely omitted them from being outside of the Stanley Cup Playoff conversation. The team certainly struggled out of the gate, losing six of its first seven games of the 2025-26 season. However, Tampa has started to turn things around with some quality efforts.<\/p>\n
After that rough start, the Bolts have gone on to win seven of their past eight games, only losing to the red-hot Colorado Avalanche last Tuesday. Tampa has picked up notable wins over the Vegas Golden Knights and Washington Capitals, keeping their name with the best in the Atlantic Division.<\/p>\n
The Rangers have been up and down throughout the first month of the regular season, and while they technically sit at the .500 mark, the team has dropped nine of its first 17 games, far below the front office\u2019s standards. The Blueshirts picked up a win over the Detroit Red Wings last Friday, but followed it up with a disappointing 5-0 defeat at the hands of the rival New York Islanders on Saturday.<\/p>\n
