Florida Panthers @ Tampa Bay Lightning Preview

The Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning face off in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series. The Panthers hold a 1-0 series lead after a strong performance in Game 1. Florida has been solid at home, and their recent form has been impressive, winning four of their last six games. Tampa Bay, on the other hand, will look to bounce back and even the series. The Lightning have been a resilient playoff team in recent years, and their ability to adjust will be key in this matchup.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

The total has gone UNDER in 7 of the last 10 games between these two teams, indicating a trend toward lower-scoring contests.

Pick: Total - Under 5.5 (-113)

The UNDER has been a consistent trend in this matchup, hitting in 7 of the last 10 games between these teams. Both teams have shown defensive discipline in recent games, and with the stakes high in the playoffs, a tight, low-scoring game is likely. Tampa Bay will aim to tighten up defensively after their Game 1 loss, while Florida will look to maintain their strong defensive form at home.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Aleksander Barkov Over 0.5 Assists

Barkov has been a key playmaker for the Panthers, and his ability to set up scoring opportunities will be crucial in this game. With Florida's offense clicking, Barkov is well-positioned to record at least one assist.

2. Nikita Kucherov Over 3.5 Shots on Goal

Kucherov is Tampa Bay's offensive catalyst, and with the Lightning needing a win, expect him to be aggressive. He has consistently hit this mark in recent games, making this a strong prop bet.

3. Sergei Bobrovsky Over 29.5 Saves

Bobrovsky has been a rock in net for the Panthers, and with Tampa Bay likely to push the pace, he should face plenty of shots. His recent performances suggest he can handle the workload and surpass this line.
