To the delight of the NHL leadership, the Tampa Bay Lightning vs. the Florida Panthers rivalry has become one of the hottest match-ups in the whole league in recent seasons. With both teams playing competitive hockey the result has been two consecutive playoff series, although the last one was pretty one-sided. This season both teams are lower in the standings than they were last season: while the Lightning have been consistent lately, keeping the third position in the Atlantic division, the Panthers are currently out of the playoff race, trailing by one point to the Detroit Red Wings, who also played one game less.
