BREAKING: TB Lightning gets AMAZING update ahead of game one which should SCARE the Toronto Maple Leafs
Tomorrow night marks the start of the rematch between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Toronto Maple Leafs, in what finished as a 7 game overtime victory for the Tampa Bay Lightning last season.
This year the Lightning are without a few of the key contributors from last years team, but they still possess some dangerous weapons throughout the lineup and definitely have the advantage in goaltending with Andrei Vasilevksiy.
The Bolts didn't have the assets or the cap space to make a big move at the deadline this year, but they did manage to bring in Tanner Jeannot. Jeannot scored 24 goals and 41 points for the Nashville Predators last season, and brings a physical element that makes him perfect for a third line role.
Jeannot was injured towards the end of the season, and was considered possibly out for the entire first round of the playoffs, but the shocking news today was that he was out for practice in a regular jersey:

While Jeannot will not be in game 1 of the series, he is no longer considered week-to-week and could be ready for game 2:
