Game two was the worst game the Lightning have played in the playoffs and one of their worst games in 2 years. Andrei Vasilevskiy was uncharacteristically terrible, allowing seven goals on 30 shots faced. Before this series, he allowed two goals or less in four straight games and he will get back into form after being embarrassed. He is way too good to have another poor performance, especially with game 3 being in Tampa Bay on their home ice. We look for Tampa Bay’s offense will be more aggressive in game three and bounce back with a better effort like they have all playoffs.
Tampa Bay will win game three and make this series 2-1.
