Stephen Nover's NHL Thursday Terminator
(NHL) Tampa Bay vs. Florida, 01/26/2017 2:30 PM, Score: 1 - 2
Money Line: -102.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Loss
I see a buy sign on the Lightning following their impressive 5-2 road win against the Blackhawks on Tuesday.

Tampa Bay has been playing better and getting solid goaltending lately in holding five of its last six opponents to two goals or less. The Lightning's offense got going against the Blackhawks especially Tyler Johnson, who scored two third-period goals.

Florida has been racked with injuries and turmoil still lacking consistency following the controversial firing of coach Gerard Gallant with GM Tom Rowe taking over. The Panthers are playing their first home game since Jan. 14 following four consecutive road games - all losses.

I see signs of a turnaround for Tampa Bay that I don't find with Florida.
