Tampa Bay won the first meeting this season and now the Lightning are looking to avenge a 6-2 loss in the rematch on Feb. 27 when the Flyers scored five times in the third period. The Lightning have won 19 of 32 at home and Philadelphia is just 4-14 the past 18 meetings. The Flyers are 19-43 their past 62 games versus Atlantic Division opponents. Samuel Ersson is the likely starter for Philadelphia and he has lost five of eight starts although he has rebounded to allowing just two goals his past two outings after Washington scored five goals against him on March 1. The Lightning had a four-day layoff and that could have contributed to a 6-3 loss to Calgary when they played uninspired and looked rusty. Look for Tampa Bay to bounce back with a determined performance tonight and play the Lightning.
