Washington at Tampa Bay

The road team has won the first four games of the series, but now Tampa Bay has a great opportunity to reverse that trend. They are coming off a 4-2 win in Game 4 mostly due to outstanding goaltending by Andrei Vasilevskiy, who made 36 saves. The Lightning did not do many other things well, including getting outshot 38-20 and going more than 20 minutes at one point without a shot on goal. Also, the Lightning were called for three consecutive penalties in the first period and got away with it. Braden Holtby stopped 16-of-19 shots for Washington, but he couldn't match Vasilevskiy's performance and that could continue to be the difference in the series.  Tampa Bay is 40-13 its last 53 games against an opponent that scored two or fewer goals its previous game and 42-16 with one day of rest. Look for Tampa Bay to play a more disciplined game and correct some mistakes and play the Lightning.
