TB has dropped both prior meetings this season with the Hurricanes. They have also lost four straight games overall, including the previous three on this four game round-trip.

Carolina remains home after splitting with the Maple Leafs and Bruins. Those two contests were played with playoff intensity and very physical games. While the Hurricanes have been very good this season, they are only 8-7 their last 15.


Tampa Bay was embarrassed the last time these two played in a 6-0 shutout. We expect the Lightning to show some pride and play with revenge and get the win as dogs.
