The Lightning are 35-16-2 all-time against the Blue Jackets.
Nikita Kucherov leads the Lightning in career scoring against Columbus with 47 points in 40 games.
Andrei Vasilevskiy has a 17-4-0 career record against the Blue Jackets with a .927 save percentage.
The Lightning have been strong on the road recently, posting a 7-0-1 record in January. Why this matters: The Lightning’s road success is crucial as they look to solidify their playoff position before returning home for an extended home stand. A win against Columbus would further boost their confidence and momentum.
The Lightning enter this game after a shootout victory against the Chicago Blackhawks. However, they might be fatigued playing the second game of a back-to-back. Jack Finley’s status is uncertain after a first-period fight in the previous game. Columbus, on the other hand, is well-rested after a 1-0 shutout win against Dallas.
