The Lightning have announced their roster for the match, and there are a few notable players to keep a close eye on.

New Lightning star Jake Guentzel is a player to keep an eye on in this matchup. As the Lightning’s top signing this summer, the star winger will look to establish chemistry with his new teammates. Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov are also playing, so the trio should get plenty of time together.

Lightning newcomer JJ Moser will also be on the ice for the club this evening. He is expected to play in the top pairing alongside Victor Hedman, so he will look to make a good impression.

The Lightning superstar goalkeeper is expected to be the club’s starter for this game. This will be his first pre-season start of the year, so of course all eyes will be on him.

Here is the Lightning’s full roster for the matchup.

Forwards: Anthony Cirelli, Dylan Duke, Ethan Gauthier, Conor Geekie, Zemgus Girgensons, Maxim Groshev, Jake Guentzel, Brandon Hagel, Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, Conor Sheary and Jesse Ylonen

Defenders: Erik Cernak, Victor Hedman, Emil Lilleberg, Ryan McDonagh, JJ Moser and Darren Raddysh

Goalkeepers: Andrei Vasilevskiy and Jonas Johansson
