Florida at Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay Lightning are the defending Stanley Cup Champions and up until 10 games ago, they looked like they were heading for a strong chance of repeating. They are just 4-6 in their last 10 games, and tonight they take on a Florida Panthers team that has pulled even in the standings with them. Florida won six straight but has struggled also of late as they have just one win in their last four. I think this is the type of contest that will bring out the "A" game for the Lightning. Tampa Bay has owned this series as they are 11-3 in the last 14 meetings, including 6-1 on home ice. The Lightning have peppered the net and produced 65 goals in the 14 games, or 4.6 per contest. Make the play on Tampa Bay.
