Tampa Bay Lightning Hope To Avoid a Road Block Against The Florida Panthers

Tampa Bay has played 27 of its 47 games this season on the road and enters this game playing their third contest in four nights. This is notoriously been a bad spot for a hockey team to perform up to its expected level.

They come into this contest with Florida in a back-to-back spot. In the game before that they had a rough go of things against Columbus. Ryan Malone scored the only goal of a shootout in the fourth round, Steven Stamkos had two goals during regulation and the Southeast Division-leading Lightning beat the Columbus Blue Jackets in a close game.

The Lightning has historically struggled on the road. The Lightning is 69-145-16 in their last 230 road games when they play a team with a losing home record, 2-7 in their last nine in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation, and 39-83 in their last 122 road games.

The Panthers are above .500 at home and have notched 11 wins on the season. They have had trouble holding leads as they have let two games slip away in the last outings against Atlanta and Columbus. They have one day off before this game and it will only be their second game in four days.

The Panthers may not be the better team in this matchup, but they catch Tampa Bay in a bad spot and are able to grab a win at home.
