Premium Pick

Tampa Bay is down 3-1 in the series, but the Lightning have been in this position before the past few years and cannot be counted out, especially after losing the past two games in overtime. The Lightning blew a three-goal lead in the third period on Monday, eventually losing 5-4 in the extra session. Tampa Bay has won five of seven playing with two days rest and the road team has won four of the past five meetings. Andrei Vasilevskiy, who has not had a good series in net for the Lightning, has one more chance to redeem himself and he still has a 2.77 goals-against average with four shutouts on the season. Toronto has the stigma of not advancing past the first round since 2004 and there is value on the road squad here to at least keep it close. Make it a Max Play on the Lightning, puck line.
