The set-up: These teams offensive and defensive numbers are almost identical. The Panthers took the regular season series over the Lightning as well, but Tampa is already up 2-0 in this series and now that it's back in friendly confines, I expect the Bolts to lay the hammer down here.

The pick: Momentum is key in the playoffs, and so is making adjustments. The veteran leadership that Tampa brings to the table here in this situation will lead to another convincing victory. The bottom line is, I believe this line could/should in fact be much larger.

This is a 10* ELITE OF THE ELITE on the Lightning.
