Tampa Bay Lightning (45-21-6) hold a commanding home-ice advantage over Nashville Predators (34-30-9), who are scrambling for Central Division wild-card points with nine games remaining after a 4-1 loss to Montreal on Saturday in the first half of their back-to-back. Predators turn to backup Justus Annunen (8-10-2) following Juuse Saros's start, while Lightning rest Andrei Vasilevskiy for Jonas Johansson after Nikita Kucherov and Nick Paul return from illness—though top defenseman Victor Hedman is a healthy scratch. Steven Stamkos faces his former team, but Tampa Bay's superior form and 8-2 edge in the last 10 head-to-heads shape trader consensus toward the hosts.
