Taken from this weeks "NHL on NBCSN/NBC" Press Release - http://nbcsportsgrouppressbox.com/2...ght-nbc-sports-groups-nhl-coverage-this-week/

This week’s coverage begins tomorrow night - 7:30 pm ET - NBCSN when Steven Stamkos-Tampa Bay Lightning host Tyler Ennis-Buffalo Sabres.

Sabres-Lightning - Tomarrow Night - 7:30 pm ET - NBCSN.

The Sabres visit the Lightning tomorrow night on NBCSN as Tampa Bay looks to keep pace in the competitive Atlantic Division. The Lightning (38-20-6, 82 pts) trail Eastern Conference-leading Montreal by five points and open a three-game homestand tomorrow night against teams currently out of the playoff picture. Tampa Bay bolstered its defensive corps on Monday prior to the trade deadline, adding defenseman Braydon Coburn in a deal with Philadelphia.

Rick Peckham (Play-By-Play) and Pierre McGuire (Inside-The-Glass Analyst) will call the action from Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

 

[Paxon]

Lindback starts, haunts the Lightning

 

[Eichel 9]

Lindback hasn't started in almost a month and will now have to go against the highest scoring team in the league. Something tells me this could be bad..

 

[sabres4ever]

Lindback hasn't started in almost a month and will now have to go against the highest scoring team in the league. Something tells me this could be bad..

We can hope. Let's also hope he doesn't steal games for us this close to the end

 

[Zman5778]

For absolutely no other reason than to just completely screw with our heads, the Sabres pull this one out in a shootout.

Lindback stands on his head, stopping 40 shots while Dalpe and one of the callups score.

 

[EichHart]

8-2 Lightning. This is going to be ugly.

 

[KennyFnPowers*]

just get the job done. no fancy ****!

 

[CaseyMitts37]

6-1 Lightning

 

[indigoo]

10-1 Stamkos

 

[Myllz]

7-0 Sabres, just to make everyone completely lose their minds before losing every game for the rest of the season.

 

[sjci]

Roenick and Millbury are going to be crying so hard tomorrow night

 

[ZeroPT*]

2-1 shootout win, HF sabres breaks

RIP

 

[Husko]

2-1 shootout win, HF sabres breaks

RIP

This.

This just smells like the kind of game we would win.

The caveat is Edmonton and Arizona both win too

 

[Paxon]

8-1 Lightning. Both of the 2nd round picks Tampa got for Connolly get a hat trick.

 

[jamers]

Matt Ellis hatty?

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

For some reason I've decided to go to this game. Don't have high hopes.

 

[7 11 14]

27-5 Lightning win. Lecavalier scores 9.

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Can't wait to see these lines lol

 

[Husko]

Any word on if Ochocinco has joined the team yet? I'd really like to see Lindback tomorrow, but if Johnson joins them tonight I could see Nolan giving him the nod, especially after Murray's recent hinting that he wants to see Lindback

 

[Team Cozens]

For absolutely no other reason than to just completely screw with our heads, the Sabres pull this one out in a shootout.

Lindback stands on his head, stopping 40 shots while Dalpe and one of the callups score.

Any callups that score will immediately be returned to the Amerks.
Like in-between periods.

 

[sjci]

Lindback startin?

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

I see a Sabre OT/SO win. Please prove me wrong . Go Tampa!

 

[kirby11]

Lindback starts, stands on his head, Hodgson and assorted AHL scrubs score to earn a decisive victory, Sabres HF explodes
Bonus prediction: If Grigorenko plays in this game, he performs so well that Razor has to begrudgingly give him a compliment

 

[Fearnot]

Blue line shuts down the Lightning. Sabres win 2-1. Our goaltender stops 47 shots.
