Command Analysis
Florida Panthers
USACurrent form
It seemed that Florida did not approach the playoffs in the best shape, as it experienced difficulties in the final matches of the regular season and even suffered a crushing defeat from its future opponent in the opening series in the face of Tampa Bay. Despite this, the Panthers were able to successfully start their performance in the Stanley Cup and in the very first match the Lightning left no chance, defeating them with a score of 6:2. What is especially noteworthy is that in three periods they managed to make only 17 shots at the opponent's goal, but this turned out to be more than enough, since their accuracy off the charts.
In the second away match, the Panthers also played inactive offensively and focused on defense, which allowed them to beat the Lightning dry (2:0). Goalkeeper Bobrovsky showed a great game, reflecting all the shots, thereby making a shutout. It seemed that by returning to the home arena, Florida would be able to earn a critical advantage in the series, winning for the third time in a row, but this did not happen. To the great surprise of the fans, the club played much worse at home and was defeated by a four-goal margin (1:5). This time, goalkeeper Bobrovsky did not cope with his main task.

Tampa Bay Lightning
USACurrent form
Just before the end of the regular season, Tampa Bay began to experience difficulties and continued to do so as part of the playoffs. Many predicted that the home walls would help the Lightning achieve the desired result, but they had to suffer two defeats in a row (2:6 and 0:2). The league's most productive club failed to show its attacking potential, and in just both meetings, it made 41 shots at the Florida goal, which was not enough.
Nevertheless, the lightning were able to gather their strength and finally showed everything they were capable of in the first away match, winning a landslide victory (5:1). Kucherov and Gunzel were the most productive, scoring three points each. It is also impossible not to mention the efforts of goalkeeper Vasilevsky, who reflected 33 shots out of 34. This victory was of great importance for several reasons. Firstly, we managed to raise morale and regain confidence in our strength. Secondly, another defeat would put Tampa on the brink of relegation from the playoffs.

In three face-to-face matches out of four, the teams scored a goal in each period.
1.57Tip and bets
Strangely enough, even after a crushing defeat at home, Florida is the clear favorite in the upcoming match. Yes, the Panthers did not look so confident on a visit and created fewer dangerous moments in the opponent's zone, but this did not prevent them from consistently achieving success. At home, the team suddenly began to have problems in defense, and the attacking line stopped realizing itself. Tampa Bay, thanks to a confident victory, should receive a boost of energy that will allow it to fully return to the fight for passage to the next stage, leveling the score in the series. We suggest taking advantage of an unreasonably high coefficient and placing a bet in favor of the guests.
Our betting tip is that Tampa Bay won't lose in 1.73
Bet on the total
Also, we should definitely expect a lot of dropped goals in the upcoming match. Once again, Tampa Bay is one of the most productive clubs in the league, but at the same time it cannot boast of a reliable defensive game, which together leads to productive matches.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.97
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Florida plays a great game at the beginning of the match and often earns an advantage after the start, and the walls at home will help it in this.
Prediction - Florida won in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.70
