Tampa Bay looked like a completely different team with Mikhail Sergachev on the ice in Game 4. The Lightning are also a team that isn't that far removed from winning a Stanley Cup. I like Tampa Bay to go on the road here and bring this series to 3-2 on Monday night.
There is no some pressure in this series, as Tampa broke through. I expect a slow, physical start and with two fine tenders I like under this number. I’m also encouraged that both teams have been very effective killing power plays….that’s an Under’s best friend.
Another chance for the Panthers to wrap up this series, though the Lightning don't seem inclined to make it easy. This Sunshine State matchup should probably be level at 2 games apiece into tonight, and Tampa Bay seems especially energized by the return to active duty of defender Mikhail Segachev, reflected in the spirited Saturday effort. Andrei Vasilevskiy always capable in goal of stealing a win on the road for the Bolts, while the big guns (including Steven Stamkos with 2 goals) were firing in the 6-3 Game 4 do-or-die win on the weekend at Tampa. Play Lightning on Money Line
Tampa Bay looked like a different team Saturday with the return of defenseman Mikhail Sergachev in the Game 4 win. He had been out since Feb. 7 after breaking his leg. The Bolts rode that wave of emotion to a 3-0 lead after a period. They also are getting a lot more power-play attempts than the Panthers in the series. The Bolts went 2-for-5 with the man advantage in Game 4.
