Las Vegas - Back on the ice tonight in the Sunshine State where the Panthers will host the Lightning for game two of the series. Florida looked just okay in the 3-2 win to open the series, but the numbers are still worthy of opening the wallet. The Panthers are now on a 5-0 run, while Tampa Bay has lost five of the last seven. And remember, there's still a YUGE discrepancy in the goal differential category, with the Panthers at +69, while the Lightning managed only a +22. Gimme the Cats for a 2-0 lead in the series.
