T.M. Selection: Florida Panthers.

I like the Florida Panthers to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. The Panthers have won 2 in a row to start the season and are playing very well with their 5-1 win over the Islanders on Saturday. The Lightning have played 3 games already and have picked up 2 wins in those games. Their last win was a 2-1 win in OT over the Capitals, they had to come back from down 1-0 in that game. They have played close games that were decided in OT their last 2 in a row now, they had to come back from behind in both of those games to win. This is the battle of Florida and the Panthers always play the Lightning with a lot of heart. They won the H2H against them in the regular season last year 5-3. This is also a bit of a revenge spot for the Panthers since the last time they played each other was in the 1st round of the playoffs last year and the Lightning kicked them out in 6 games. I think the Panthers are going to get up for this game so I like them to win here.

T.M. Prediction: 4-2 Panthers.
