The Eastern Conference and league-leading Tampa Bay Lightning are the hosts.
The visitors are the Calgary Flames, one of the top teams in the Western Conference.
Tuesday's tilt has all the makings of a heavyweight tilt. Except that while the Lightning are flying high, the Flames are floundering.
The Flames have just one win in their last four games (1-2-1) and have seen what was a six-point edge on their Western Conference, and Pacific Division, rivals dissipate.
Suddenly the Flames are struggling defensively and can't find the goal-scoring touch that made them such a potent club through December and January.
Their last game, a 4-3 shootout loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night, was a prime example. The defeat came despite firing 47 shots on goal through overtime in a game that was one-sided everywhere but on the scoreboard.
