The only NHL Atlantic Division game that will take place next Tuesday, January 04th corresponds to the clash between Tampa Bay Lightning and Ottawa Senators, teams that will face at 06:00 pm CST. This game will be a must-win for both, as they still have a long way to go to ensure their respective qualifications for the playoffs by the end of the regular season.
On the one hand, Tampa Bay Lightning is just 1 point behind the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference, a difference that looks very short by taking into consideration that there are more than 30 games missing in the regular season. Nonetheless, it must be remarked that the Lightning has only been able to win 1 out of their last 5 games in regulation time, a very bad streak that was totally caused by their lack of offensive effectiveness.
On the other hand, Ottawa Senators are surprising the whole Eastern Conference, not only because they currently have a streak of 5 victories in a row, but also because they scored 4 or more goals during their last 3 games in a row. Those numbers are really generating a big illusion on their fanatics, who expect the Senators to carry on with their amazing performance so they can qualify for the playoffs.
