The second-round series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Florida Panthers is moving to Tampa Bay for two back-to-back games starting tonight. Surprisingly, the Lightning have taken a commanding 2-0 lead in the series against the Presidents’ Trophy winner and now have a home-ice advantage in the series. That also allows them not to rush the recovery process of Brayden Point, who has not played since Game 7 against the Toronto Maple Leafs in the previous round.
As Jon Cooper confirmed yesterday, Point will miss the third game of the series in a row.
