The Panthers enter this matchup with a 2-0 series lead, as they defeated Tampa Bay 2-0 in their last game. During the victory, Florida’s goalkeeper Sergei Bobrovsky played at a high level. He ended the game with 19 saves and did not concede a goal, so Bobrovsky will try to perform similarly today.

In order to bounce back this afternoon, the Lightning will need to rely on their star forward Nikita Kucherov. He ended the regular season with 121 points, which led the NHL. However, Kucherov has struggled to find offensive success in the postseason.

Kucherov has not scored a goal in this series, and he failed to record a point last game. With this in mind, Kucherov will look to improve his play today.
