Tampa Bay Lightning enter Sunday's home matchup with a superior 44-21-6 record, ranking second in goals for per game at 3.61 and fourth in goals against at 2.78, bolstered by strong penalty kill efficiency at 81.8%, but key injuries loom large with Nikita Kucherov listed out alongside Nick Paul, Victor Hedman sidelined until March 31, and defensemen Maxwell Crozier and Declan Carlile on IR. Nashville Predators (34-29-9), riding 6-3-1 form over their last 10 including three straight wins before a March 26 loss to New Jersey, report no major injuries and feature Filip Forsberg, Steven Stamkos, and Roman Josi driving offense. Both teams play back-to-backs after March 28 games, heightening fatigue and goaltending importance amid late-season Central and Atlantic playoff positioning, with Tampa leading the season series 1-0.
