Lightning host Ottawa Senators in first of two matchups this week

After a disappointing overtime loss to the New York Islanders on Saturday, the Tampa Bay Lightning have an opportunity to get back on track with four Atlantic Division matchups ahead of the 4 Nations break next week.

Tampa Bay is currently 27-20-4 overall and 3-9-0 against the Atlantic Division, which has them one point out of a playoff spot.

The Lightning have scored 176 total goals (3.4 per game) to rank fourth in the league but the past month has proven to be their most difficult offensively.

Ottawa, who will be playing the second part of a back-to-back Tuesday, is coming off a 5-2 win against Nashville Monday night. They’ve won their last five games and have taken over the third place spot in the Atlantic division.

Here's a look at the lines from Tuesday's morning skate:
