Florida Panthers vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction & Picks - NHL

 by Stephen Abiola | in NHL Picks

On Thursday, April 25, Tampa Bay Lightning will host Florida Panthers in Game 3 of their seven-game series for the Stanley Cup. The Panthers are already 1-0 up after beating the Lightning 3-2 in Game 1, where Barkov bagged two assists while Sam Reinhart got on the scoresheet. However, Sergei Bobrovsky impressed the most for the Panthers after making 17 saves. This was the first time they won Game 1 on home ice since 1997. The Lightning, on the other hand, had many positives to build on despite the Panthers clearly overmatching them at the Amerant Bank Arena. Their head coach, Jon Cooper, knows the playoff momentum can shift quickly. An example is the 2022 postseason tournament opener, where they lost 5-0 to Toronto before bouncing back to win the series. However, the Panthers have proved to be a more intelligent and physical opponent this time.

Our Florida Panthers vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction

This is a closely matched contest, with Florida being the slight 1-point favorite. Florida will look to extend their early lead in this series, although things could get a little complicated if Tampa Bay evens out the score in Game 2. It's more likely that this series could drag on and get more nasty and physical as both teams fight for dominance.
