NHL playoffs preview: Panthers seeking redemption in reunion with Lightning

While hockey fans prepare for an exciting Battle of Alberta series in the Western Conference, one of the NHL's newer rivalries in the East will be on display for a second straight postseason.

Starting Tuesday evening, the series dubbed "The Battle of Florida" will take center stage in Round 2, showcasing two of the league’s top rosters in the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Florida Panthers.

These two high-flying clubs met in the first-round of last year's Stanley Cup Playoffs and gave us a thrilling six-game series, and we are likely in store for more of that same high intensity action this time around.
