Florida is home but had to play last night against the defending champs in a a 4-0 win. It was a great win but they haven't been playing great hockey, as that ended a four-game skid. The offense had tallied five goals in those four losses. The Panthers are 16-37 at home against a team with a winning road record. Into town comes a talented and red-hot Tampa Bay team, winning seven in a row. Tampa Bay is #13 in goals scored, #8 in goals allowed. The Lightning have received contributions throughout the roster during a stretch in which they've outscored opponents 26-14. They ended the Blackhawks' team-record 12-game winning streak, 2-1, behind a huge 33-18 advantage in shots. Ben Bishop had 17 saves as the Blackhawks were held to a season-low 18 shots. Bishop has allowed only four goals in winning four straight starts. The Lightning are 15-5 in the last 20 meetings, including 7-2 at Florida, so grab the rested hot team and take Tampa Bay.
