Look for Tampa Bay to beat the Kings for an eighth straight time - and in a big way, too.
The Lightning came out of All-Star break not looking good in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars on Monday. They will look to take their frustrations out on a rusty Kings squad that hasn't played in 11 days and is 1-6-1 in their last eight games. 
The Kings don't have much of a home ice edge and the mood figures to be somber in LA so soon after the death of Kobe Bryant. 
Tampa Bay goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy is having a strong January with a .955 save percentage.
