Florida has won 8 of 9 and now see the playoffs in their sights. They know they need this one to keep hope alive. So, we get a "needy" underdog here which is always good. Florida can beat the Lightning as the Panthers are 9-5 against winning teams in the second half of the season. They have really picked up their scoring, posting 3.6 goals per game over their last five games. And, Tampa's defense remains suspect. Florida in this one.
