Florida Panthers Form

Florida are one victory away from advancing in the postseason, having won the first three games of this series.

The Panthers led the way in the Atlantic Division this season, compiling a 52-24-6 record to finish top of the standings.

They finished the regular season strong too, winning each of their final four games to enter the postseason with plenty of momentum.

Florida took that win streak to six games as they hosted Tampa Bay in the first two games of this playoff series, winning 3-2 and 3-2 in overtime.

The Panthers then made it seven wins in a row on Thursday night as they ran out 5-3 winners on the road to take a 3-0 series lead.

Tampa Bay Lightning Form

Tampa Bay head into this game knowing that their season will end if they suffer one more defeat to Florida.

The Lighting booked their place in the playoffs by finishing fourth in the Atlantic Division standings with a 45-29-8 record.

However, unlike Florida they came into the postseason having seen their form cool off with four defeats in their final six regular season games.

Tampa Bay have been unable to turn things around in the first three games of this playoff series with Florida, losing all three meetings so far.

The Lightning went out on the road and lost 3-2 and 3-2 in overtime to the Panthers, and then fell to a 5-3 defeat in their first home game of the series.

Verdict

Florida are in firm control of the series and it is tough to see Tampa turning it around, so give us the Panthers in this one.
