Florida Panthers (37-21-3) and Tampa Bay Lightning (35-20-4) will face off Monday night at the Amerant Bank Arena. The Panthers are flying high in the Atlantic Division, topping the standings with 77 points from 61 matches. They are on a 3-match winning run, defeating the Flames 3-0 in their last game. Their attack has been scoring goals for fun lately, bagging 4 goals in each of their assignments against the Oilers and the Predators. They should beat any side in their current form.

However, the Lightning have been the most in-form side in the Eastern Conference lately and will travel to Florida looking for all the points. They have won their last eight matches, and it would’ve been nine straight wins if they hadn’t lost 3-2 in OT to the Islanders last month. The Lightning are third in the Atlantic Division, just 4 points behind the Panthers and 2 points behind the Maple Leafs. Remember, the Panthers have played two games more than the Maple Leafs and the Lightning.
