It's finally that time of year - hockey season!
The Tampa Bay Lightning battle it out on the ice against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Week 10 of the regular season on Monday, December 15 at 7:00 p.m. EST at the CONSOL Energy Center in PA. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Monday night hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.
Following the first few opening weeks of the 2014 regular season, the Lightning snag the impressive No. 6 spot in Jonathan Willis' official NHL power ranking for Bleacher Report with an 19-9-3 record:
"December hasn't been kind to the Lightning, despite a relatively soft schedule. Tampa Bay has just one win in its last four games and two in its last six... The Lightning are still in first in the Atlantic, albeit only by their fingernails, as the team sits just two points up on fourth-place Toronto. They're goal differential indicates the team is for real, though; Tampa Bay is one of only three clubs in the league to be plus-20 or better... Perhaps the most impressive thing about the Lightning is that they have a great record despite average goaltending. Starter Ben Bishop has a decent but unspectacular 0.914 save percentage while backup Evgeni Nabokov is mired below 0.900."
Meanwhile, the Penguins currently hold the awesome No. 4 spot (out of 30 total teams) with a 19-6-4 record. According to Willis:
"The Pens are alternating wins and losses in December, but do keep picking up points. The team is 2-0-2 over its last four and that kind of record doesn't hurt its standings position at all... The Penguins currently sit first in the East, which is more-or-less how they are expected to perform in the regular season. The Islanders have given them a run for their money in the Metropolitan, but the rest of the division is as weak as ever and home ice in the ifrst round of the playoffs is all but assured... Pittsburgh's most surprising offensive contributor this year has to be Blake Comeau. At even-strength, Comeau's 17 points put him back of only Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby and while a bunch of that is shooting percentage-fueled it's worth remembering that Comeau was a pretty decent scorer for a few years in New York. With some injuries up front, he's even starting to get power play time."
