Florida at Tampa Bay

Florida can't afford many more losses if it wants to stay in the playoff race, especially the kind it had on Friday when the Panthers outshot Buffalo 50-33 and still lost 3-1. Sergei Bobrovsky is likely in net for Florida and it has won five of his past eight starts and he had 33 saves against the Sabres. Tampa Bay has lost four of six, including 7-3 against Pittsburgh on Sunday when the Penguins scored five goals in 4:27. The Panthers destroyed the Lightning 7-1 on Feb. 6 and it was against tonight's expected starter, Andrei Vasilevskiy. Florida is 10-3 playing with at least three days rest and 42-20 its past 62 games after scoring two or fewer goals its previous game. Play the Panthers.
