The Tampa Bay Lightning are returning home with two wins over the Florida Panthers after two away games and have a very comfortable lead in the first round of the 2021 NHL Playoffs. While many experts predicted that this series could go as far as seven games, a potential 4-0 Lightning sweep doesn’t seem impossible at this moment.
However, despite a 2-0 lead, this series isn’t lopsided at all. The Panthers controlled shot department in both games and their top lines, especially Aleksander Barkov and Jonathan Huberdeau, have been a very big threat at 5-on-5.
