Tampa Bay at Florida

The top two teams in the Central Division battle tonight and Tampa Bay has the hotter goalie in Andrei Vasilevskiy, with a sparkling 1.80 goals-against average and .936 save percentage to go along with an 8-1-1 record. The Lightning have won six in a row while outscoring opponents 27-9 in that span following two wins over Nashville. Florida has feasted on Wings lately, as three of its last four wins have come against last-place Detroit. Tampa Bay is 37-18 its last 55 games after scoring at least five goals its previous game, and 30-12 versus teams with winning records. The Lightning are 27-11 the last 38 meetings with the Panthers, and the favorite has won 13 of the last 16 meetings. Florida is 4-9 its last 13 games as an underdog. Take the Lightning.
