“We have got decisions to make,” Lightning Head Coach Guy Boucher said. “There are a few other guys that have been playing with little things that are bothering them. You look at Marty St. Louis and Steven Stamkos, theses guys have played every single game and haven’t missed a beat. We will see what our decision is going to be. We have to do this in the best interest of our team.”

The Lightning have earned the right, securing their playoff spot over a week to go, to rest players, and to be honest, it is exactly what they need to do. With the luck this team has had in terms of injuries this year, there really is no reason to put any of its stars in jeopardy.
