Florida is in a must-win situation after losing in the final seconds in Game 2 by a Ross Colton goal to go down 0-2 in the series, and both games have gone UNDER. Tampa Bay is in the usual letdown spot that we see so often in the playoffs, especially after the Lightning blocked 24 shots on Thursday and laid it all out on the ice in a tough victory. Sergei Bobrovsky had 28 saves for the Panthers, and he is 43-11-1-2 on the season. Florida is 11-3 when playing with two days of rest, 21-7 as a road favorite, and 19-7 overall in its past 26 road games. The Panthers are 11-5-4 UNDER in their last 20 games, and Tampa Bay has stayed UNDER in five of its last seven when playing with two days of rest. Also, six of the last eight meetings have stayed UNDER. Look for Florida to break through with a win in another low-scoring game. Take Florida to win, and also back the UNDER.
