Tampa Bay can finish things off against their state rivals in South Florida, and the Bolts will have star forward Nikita Kucherov. He left Saturday's 6-2 win with a lower-body injury but has been cleared. So has Mikhail Sergachev (undisclosed). Florida, meanwhile, is going with rookie Spencer Knight in net and while he has a potentially very bright future, it's asking too much to beat this loaded Tampa team in my opinion.
These two teams have been scoring at will, but both power plays have also been extremely good. Spencer Knight could get his first career playoff start for the Panthers considering how poorly the Panthers other goalies have played this series. I think the Panthers will obviously be going all out down 3-1 and the Lightning should be able to solve a rookie goaltender in a close out game. I think this game will be high scoring.
