Tampa Bay Lightning Form

Tampa Bay come into this game on the back of a couple of a wins, but they have been rare in recent weeks.

The Lightning closed out the regular season by going just 4-8 in their last 12 games – a run that included two four-game skids.

The second of those slumps saw them lose 6-3 at the New York Rangers, 6-1 at the New York Islanders and 7-4 in Ottawa, before returning home to lose 4-3 to playoff opponents Toronto.

Tampa Bay rebounded in their regular season finale though, shutting out Detroit in a 5-0 win.

The Lightning then avenged that recent defeat to Toronto as they beat the Maple Leafs 7-3 in Game 1 of this playoff series.

Toronto go into the second game of this playoff series on the back of a defeat that halted a four-game win streak.

The Maple Leafs did not lose a regular season game after falling to a 2-1 overtime defeat in Boston.

Toronto beat Florida 2-1 in overtime, before heading to Tampa Bay for a 4-3 victory and New York for a 3-2 win over the Rangers.
