Tampa Bay Lightning at Florida Panthers preview: A playoff tease

Time: 7:00 pm Eastern Time

Location: BB&T Center

Broadcast/Streaming: BSFL, NHL.TV free game

Friday’s night’s loss against the Dallas Stars has ruined the Tampa Bay Lightning’s hopes to finish the regular season in first place in the Central Division. With two games left before the start of postseason, the Carolina Hurricanes are officially out of reach which means that the Lightning will face the Florida Panthers in the first round of playoffs for the first time in franchise history. Both teams will have a brilliant chance to learn their opponent better as they will meet twice in two final regular season games.
