Tampa Bay ended the season strong. They won 7 of their last 12 games and looked solid at home all year. They had the best home record in the East and one of the best goal differences in the league. Their star player, Nikita Kucherov, has been on fire lately and could be a big problem for Florida in this series.

Florida didn’t finish the season as well as they hoped. They lost 6 of their last 10 games and missed the chance to play Game 1 at home. They’ve been okay on the road but not great. Carter Verhaeghe has been one of their better players lately, and they’ll need him to step up again in the playoffs.
MatchPlug Prediction For Florida Panthers VS Tampa Bay Lightning
Tampa Bay has more momentum and plays really well at home. Florida hasn’t looked sharp, and playing away might hurt their chances. With Kucherov in great form and home-ice advantage, Tampa Bay should take Game 2.
Final Prediction: Tampa Bay Lightning Moneyline
