A pair of Atlantic Division playoff-bound teams from the Sunshine State lock up on the ice. The Tampa Bay Lightning are on the road as they make the trip to face the Florida Panthers Sunday night. Tampa Bay beat Nashville 6-2 in an interconference clash last night while the Cats edged the Toronto Maple Leafs, 3-2 in overtime. In the last 10 meetings between the teams, the Lightning own a narrow 5-4-1 advantage though it was the Panthers rolling to a 9-3 victory at home in the most recent matchup on December 30, 2021.
