• The Lightning posted a 25-11-5 record at home this season.

• If the Lightning are to stay in this series, this is a must-win game for them, and the odds reflect that.

Leg 2: Over 5.5 Total Goals (-138)

• That makes you wonder, why is the over 5.5 juiced to -138 tonight? 
• It’s been a goaltending clinic from both sides in this series, and all it takes is an empty net goal to completely change the trajectory of this series from a total standpoint. 
• The Lightning and Panthers offenses have been relatively quiet, and even though you can credit the goalies for that, a breakout performance is on the horizon.
