Tampa Bay is sputtering right now with five losses in their last seven games. The Lightning comes in off a 0-3 west coast swing where they scored just one goal in each of their three games. That's tough to deal with, especially having to travel back home off of that swing. Carolina is playing good hockey right now and they are tough in both ends of the ice. Both teams play their third game in four nights here but the travel factor is going to wear on the Lightning. Give the advantage to the Hurricanes in this contest.
