Florida Panthers vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction & Picks - NHL

 by Erik Gibbs | in NHL Picks

The Florida Panthers will look to extend their current three-game winning streak as they face off against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Sunday's matchup marks the first time these two teams meet this season. Florida currently holds a two-game lead over Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference standings with 44 points. The Lightning, however, have had limited opportunities to compete against divisional opponents this season. That's about to change, as three of their next four games will be against Atlantic Division rivals, including two against the Panthers. Unfortunately for Tampa Bay, their divisional record stands at 0-3, with losses to the Maple Leafs (twice) and the Senators earlier in the season. Still, the Lightning secured a 3-1 win against the St. Louis Blues in their most recent outing, earning two valuable points. Nikita Kucherov contributed with two points, and Gage Goncalves celebrated a milestone by scoring his first NHL career goal.

Our Florida Panthers vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction

The Panthers have had an up-and-down season so far. While they've won more games than they've lost, consistency has been elusive. For instance, they were recently shut out in consecutive games but responded by scoring six goals in back-to-back contests. Goaltenders Sergei Bobrovsky and Spencer Knight have struggled with save percentages below .900 and negative goals saved above expected, yet the team continues to find ways to secure victories. The Lightning will be without J.J. Moser for the foreseeable future, but their roster remains packed with talent. The team currently leads the league in goals per game and also dominates in high-danger goals, having recorded 60 so far this season. Our prediction for Lightning vs. Panthers is: Lightning to win.
