Command Analysis

Florida Panthers

Floridalooked good throughout the season, but they were unlucky with an opponent in the opening round of the playoffs. The Panthers have so far managed to secure only one victory over Tampa, in overtime (6:5). But already in the next game, they suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 2:6, not being able to create anything interesting in the attack and making mistakes in defense.

Joel Quenneville even had to substitute the goaltender, and Driedger replaced Bobrovsky in the goalbox. Driedger ended up conceding only one goal. The Panthers make silly mistakes in their own zone in almost all games of the series and allow their opponents to create chances out of nothing.

Tampa Bay Lightning

Tampa are moving towards the next round. They are definitely stronger than Florida at the moment. There was a risk of losing the key players Sergachev and Kucherov to injuries, but the team was lucky and they managed to avoid serious injuries.

We would like to emphasize, that the Lightning are great in attack, and during this series, they scored at least three goals in every game. Now Kucherov is the top scorer in the squad, he scored three goals and made six assists. The Lightning players also have more experience in the playoffs than their opponents. This seriously affects the results, too.

In our opinion, Tampa will be able to finish this series in the upcoming game. The Lightning have invaluable experience of playing in the knock-out games, and it helps them feel more confident than Florida. They do not make a lot of costly mistakes in their own zone. And the Panthers, on the other hand, often fail on the defensive.
