The fifth game of the series between the Florida Panthers and the Tampa Bay Lightning will be a great opportunity for the Florida team to advance to the second round of the playoffs in front of their home crowd. However, one cannot overlook the poorly played game they delivered in what has been, so far, the only victory for Tampa Bay (6-3).

In this regard, the Florida Panthers were only effective during the second period, where they managed to score all 3 goals of the game, falling into a tough desperation during the third period where even Ekman-Larsson and Mikkola were penalized towards the end of the game, having to return to sober defensive organization during this match.

Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Lightning managed to survive dramatically in what could have been their last game of the season, momentarily returning to the outstanding offensive level that allowed them to be one of the best offenses in the Eastern Conference during the regular season. Therefore, they are expected to try and emulate that level for this crucial game.
