Florida at Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay is in a must-win spot as the Lightning can't allow themselves to go down 3-0 against Florida, which went to the Stanley Cup Finals last season. The Lightning are hoping home ice will carry them through Game 3 and they have won 25 of 41 home games this season. Tampa Bay is 26-17 OVER its past 43 home games and it is 48-36 its past 84 playoff home contests. Florida won Game 2 in overtime when Carter Verhaeghe scored 2:59 into overtime. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 34 of 37 shots for the Lightning, who were outshot 37-23. Florida is in the usual letdown situation after winning two at home and Tampa Bay will have to come out firing on all cylinders and hopefully get an early lead to change the trajectory of the series. Take the Lightning, and bet this game to go OVER as a Max Play.
