An injury-hit Tampa Bay Lightning will kick off the new week of action on Monday night against the Philadelphia Flyers at the Benchmark International Arena.
The Lightning have recently been without top-four defensemen Victor Hedman and Ryan McDonagh, and could also have a few holes in the attack on Monday night. Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point were both hurt during Saturday's 5-3 win over the Washington Capitals.
Kucherov played only five minutes against Washington but had three points (one goal, two assists), showing that he has returned to form after a slow start to the season. Although Point has struggled to perform in 2025-26, he has posted three consecutive campaigns with 40-plus goals and would also be a massive miss.
The Flyers currently have only Rasmus Ristolainen on the shelf, and the team has done just fine without the Finnish blue-liner this season. New head coach Rick Tocchet has found just the right buttons to push with this Flyers team, raising them back into playoff contention.
After defeating St. Louis and New Jersey, Philadelphia is looking to match its season-best winning streak with a third consecutive victory. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay will head out for a fourth consecutive win.

Our Tampa Bay Lightning vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction
One of the major factors of Tampa's recent success has been goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy, who has allowed only one goal in each of his last three starts. However, Jon Cooper's team has looked shaky at times in defense, and Vasilevskiy has yet to go four consecutive starts with two or fewer goals allowed this season.
The Flyers have a below-par offensive record, scoring 2.80 goals per game. Nevertheless, their attack has exploded for a couple of six-goal outings recently, and with Trevor Zegras on fire, the visitors could cause plenty of trouble for Vasilevskiy & Co. on Monday night.
Our prediction for Philadelphia Flyers vs. Tampa Bay Lightning: Flyers over 2.5 goals.
