Premium Pick

The pressure is on the home team for Game 2 after Tampa Bay won a Game 1 blowout on the road, 7-3. Tampa Bay's talented defense is 14th in goals allowed and 11th in save percentage, while the offense is eighth in goals scored and shooting percentage. The Lightning is 38-16 playing on one day of rest, 14-5 on the road when playing Game 2 of a playoff series, plus 31-16 as a No. 3 seed in the postseason. Toronto got knocked out of the playoffs in the first round a year ago by Tampa Bay despite home-ice advantage, including a Game 2 loss at home, 5-3. The Maple Leafs are 21-20 after having won four or five of their last six and Tampa Bay has won five of the last eight meetings between these teams tallying 31 goals. Play Tampa Bay.
