As per NHL.com:
Ten local organizations have been sponsored for the Lightning-Senators game: Children's Cancer Center; Children's Dream Fund; All Children's Hospital; Faces of Courage; Leukemia and Lymphoma Society; Moffitt Cancer Center; Pediatric Cancer Foundation; Ronald McDonald House; 1 Voice; and Tampa General Hospital.
On a personal note, cancer is a disease that has affected my family more than once. It is a terrible disease that discriminates against no one. I commend the Lightning and NHL for being so active and outspoken in their various Hockey Fights Cancer campaigns.
Interesting trivia to note: The Lightning have not lost a game on a Tampa Fights Cancer Night.
Just a thought.

The Senators won against the Panthers last night 4-3. Three goals in the second period were too much for the Panthers to handle. They spanked us the last time they played us, I try to forget about that 7-1 drubbing, but it really hasn't been long enough.
I hope the players feel the same way. There's no reason I need to watch another terrible performance by the Lightning on TSN. No one believes me up here in the North that the Lightning can, well some days, they can look like a real NHL team.
Hopefully the Lightning have learnt from their loss against the Senators that they are going to need to play another 60 solid minutes tonight.
The Lightning are currently 2nd in the league in faceoffs at 54.2 percent which is right behind the Sharks' 57.1 percent. Zenon Konopka has a faceoff record of 70.2 % right now, that's winning 40 out of 57 draws he's taken.
Line-up Notes:
- Mike Smith is going to start in goal
- I'm unsure if Smaby is ok to play as per the Lightning twitter, or is not as per Lightning Strikes
Game time: 7:00pm ET. On SUN, and TSN!
Updates to follow if they happen.
