Command Analysis
Current form
Tampa Bay began the home series with a duel with an opponent of its level in the face of Toronto. The lightning had a hard time equalizing the score in the third period, realizing numerical superiority, but in the end they still suffered an insulting defeat in overtime (3:4). The defensive line showed its worst side, and goalkeeper Vasilevsky failed to cope with his main task, reflecting only 87% of shots. A similar situation arose in the next match with Detroit, only this time the Red Wings won back and moved the game to overtime. Again, in extra time, the Lightning failed to prove themselves and lost with a score of 3:4.
The lightning were also able to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans and break the streak of failures at the home arena, where they defeated Buffalo with a three-goal difference (7:4). One of the most productive players was striker Kucherov, who scored a double and gave an assist, which allowed him to take the first place in the goalscoring race.

Glendening and Bjorkstrand will definitely not play in the upcoming match. Raddish is also questionable.

Current form
It seemed that Florida had come to its senses and would continue to steadily earn points until the end of the regular season, as it gained an excellent pace. The Panthers have not lost for three consecutive games, and only one of them had serious problems. The team confidently coped with Toronto (3:1), and then defeated Detroit with a score of 4:1. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. However, it was not so easy to consolidate success. In the duel with Buffalo, there were problems with the implementation of attacking chances, which almost led to a defeat. But they still managed to snatch Victoria in a shootout (3:2).
Having continued to perform at home, the Panthers nevertheless interrupted their winning streak. The team faced the Rangers and could not play reliably defensively, having been defeated with a score of 3:5. This time, goalkeeper Bobrovsky showed his worst side, reflecting only 80% of the shots. It is worth noting that the club currently occupies the fifth place in the Eastern Conference table, where it looks like it will remain until the end of the regular season.

Tampa Bay got a great opportunity to earn extra points in the upcoming match. Zippers are in optimal shape, which consistently creates serious problems for their competitors. It is also worth noting that the lightning will perform at the home arena, where, with the support of the fans, they have every chance of success. It is impossible not to take into account the fact that Florida will play without many key players, which will affect the overall performance of the club clearly not for the better.
