Command Analysis

Tampa Bay Lightning

The Tampa Bay Lightning crushed Florida (4:1) in the first game of their quarterfinal tie. Forward Kucherov chalked up two points - he scored a goal and gave an assist. Goalie Vasilevskiy also did his part - he saved 97% of the shots. After such a confident start, the Lightning built on their success and got a 2:1 victory in the second away game.

Florida Panthers

The Florida Panthers spent a lot of their energy in the first round of the playoffs fighting Washington. The Panthers snatched a ticket to the quarterfinals in the sixth game in overtime. But their match against Tampa had a terrible start - the Panthers lost both of their home games and now will have to level the score in the series on a road trip.

Tip and bets

TipTampa to win

1.95

Tampa have gained momentum and delivered excellent performance in the first two games of the series. The Lightning have worked on their mistakes after the last-16 match against Toronto and have improved their defenses - Florida struggled to convert their chances in the first to games. We believe that Tampa will win again.
