Florida at Tampa Bay

The Lightning dominated the regular season last year only to immediately get swept out of the playoffs 4-0 by Columbus. This is going to be a very motivational spot as Florida acquired goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky who was behind the net for the Blue Jackets in that sweep. Tampa Bay finished the regular season at 62-16-4 a year ago, but the bad taste from the quick exit last year and getting a home opener vs. the goaltender that shut them down is going to have them playing with an attitude. Play Tampa Bay.
