(NHL) Tampa Bay vs. Florida,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -180.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Win
We didn't see much of Florida's explosive and top-rated offense in Game one, but we did see a continuation of their inexplicable play-off goose egg on the PP. The Panthers rely on goal volume to win. Scoring just 3 goals a game, and allowing over 3.2 is not a recipe for success.We have also seen some fine goaltending from Vaslievskiy in his latest starts. He has out-played Bobrovsky to date in the playoffs. The Panthers, at home, are a considerable favorite today, but like the Leafs, may not be a match for the experience and discipline of the Lightning. I think the Lightning will keep this one close. Take Tampa on the puck line at +1 1/2.
