Scouting Report
The Tampa Bay Lightning had their two-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday in an embarrassing 7-2 loss to the Nashville Predators. After four straight games on the road, the Lightning return home to host the Florida Panthers for the fifth time this season. The series is currently deadlocked at 2-2 and this meeting will decide who moves into first place in the Central Division. The Lightning and Panthers are in a three-way tie with the Carolina Hurricanes for first place in the division. Tampa Bay’s next four games feature two games against each of those teams so they must refocus after Tuesday’s loss.
