The Tampa Bay Lightning find themselves in a challenging position, trailing 3-1 in their series against the Florida Panthers, who have gained momentum heading back to Tampa. The Lightning will benefit from Panthers’ Aaron Ekblad’s two-game suspension, but must improve their play, especially goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy, who has faced heavy scoring against him. Bettors are eyeing opportunities in the matchup, with notable bets including Lightning ML (-114) and Nikita Kucherov to score (+160), as the Lightning aim to avoid elimination and turn the series around.
