Scouting Report
The Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning are starting to build up quite the in-state rivalry, as tensions heighten between the two teams given their tight race for top spot in the Central Division. This will be the fourth game of the season between the clubs with Florida taking two of the first three games so far. Each of these teams are playing exceptional hockey right now with the Lightning winning 12 of their last 15, and the Panthers winning seven of their last 10. The two teams have had very comparable seasons thus far, however the Lightning deserve to be the favorites in this one for a few reasons.
