Florida regained momentum in this series in a big way when Ryan Lomberg scored 5:56 into overtime on Thursday to cut the Lightning's series lead to 2-1. The Panthers trailed 5-3 entering the third period and then tied it with goals by Patric Hornqvist and Gustav Forsling to hand Tampa Bay its first defeat in 29 games after leading after two periods this season. Sergei Bobrovsky was credited with the win after Chris Driedger gave up all five goals and Bobrovsky will be in net in Game 4 with a 19-8-1 record and 2.91 goals-against average this year, including playoffs. Andrei Vasilevskiy had 41 saves in a losing cause and the UNDER is 4-0-1 in the Lightning's past five games versus an opponent that scored at least five goals its previous game. The Panthers have stayed UNDER four of five after allowing five or more goals. Play the Panthers on the puck line and the UNDER.
