Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Phoenix Coyotes at Everett, Wa. Game Thread

Game two of this week's Exhibition Gauntlet is late tonight (10:30 PM) for east coast residents. This time around, after a late bit of travel late last night, the Bolts (1-1-1 this preseason) find themselves in Everett, Washington (near Seattle) continuing the cross-continent sojourn.

It's the Phoenix Coyotes that will be on the opposite end of the ice -- as they will be tomorrow in Loveland, Colorado.

Stop over at Five for Howling's official game thread to check out the take from the other side of the fence.
