Tonight's Panthers vs. Lightning predictions expect a strong showing from Tampa against Florida's B team.
With something left on the line to play for, the Lightning will give it their all against a Panthers team settled into its playoff position. Tampa wins in regulation. The Tampa Bay Lightning have dropped four of the past six games as their play has dipped down the stretch.
Tonight, they’ll be looking to get back on track and keep their Atlantic Division chances alive with a win over their interstate rival, Florida Panthers. My Panthers vs. Lightning predictions expect them to do just that, with star forwards Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point leading the charge.still have something to play for. If they win their final two games — and get help — they could steal the Atlantic Division crown from the hands of the Toronto Maple Leafs.With the Panthers firmly entrenched in their spot as the No. 3 seed in the Atlantic, they have nothing on the line tonight, and their lineup will reflect that. Head coach Paul Maurice had already been taking key players out of the lineup to heal bumps and bruises and get his guys extra rest before the playoffs. It makes no sense for the Panthers to ice anywhere close to their best lineup in this game, especially against the team they’re likely to draw in the opening round. Thus, the Panthers should be trotting out a watered down lineup against a Lightning squad putting its best foot forward. The Panthers will also have Vitek Vanecek playing behind said lineup. The veteran backup has struggled mightily this season, posting an .886 save percentage and winning only five of 23 starts. While Vanecek has performed better behind a more talented and structured Panthers team, he has still lost four of his last five games.Kucherov is a very consistent shot generator, having recorded three shots or more in 68% of his games this season, averaging 3.4 on 7.1 attempts. He’s taken his numbers up a notch following off-days, piling up 3.8 shots on 8.1 attempts over his last 10 games after a rest day. Kucherov has also benefited from the promotion of Yanni Gourde to the top line. He’s averaged more than 10 shots and 24 attempts per 60 minutes of 5-on-5 play with Gourde on his opposite wing.Point has hit the scoresheet in 70% of Tampa Bay’s home games and 81% of home wins. He also has a great track record against Florida, picking up a point in 14 of the last 19 head-to-head meetings.The Tampa Bay Lightning have covered the Puck Line in 25 of their last 44 games at home .
