Next Monday will be a very important day in the NHL schedule for Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning, as they’ll clash at 06:00 pm CST for the second day in a row. With that in mind, this game generates a very important expectation after the very offensive proposal that both teams delivered last Saturday in the first and second periods.

On Florida Panthers’ case, this team is again crossing through a very positive performance, currently accumulating a streak of 4 victories in a row, in which they’ve scored 4 or more goals in 3 out of them. In this regard, they’re just 2 points behind the top spot of the Eastern Conference, so this game will be one of the most important in their ambitions to carry on being the best team in the league.

Meanwhile, Tampa Bay Lightning lost their streak of 4 victories in a row after their aforementioned loss against Florida Panthers last Sunday, but it’s worth noting that the Lightning hasn’t been able to score more than 3 goals during their last 2 games in a row. With that in mind, it’s totally logical to expect an increase in Brayden Point’s performance, who remarks as the top scorer of this team with 22 scored goals throughout the season.
