Can Lightning Strike Twice? Game 2 Set to Electrify Series
Hockey is one of the sports that I’ve basically put on the backburner for most of the seasons. I wrote more about college basketball, and obviously the king of sports betting, football. As a result, I didn’t put quite as many plays out there for hockey. I did have a few right before the end of the regular season, and another one at the start of the playoffs. Overall, it has been a good hockey season, but I’m looking for more here between the Panthers and Lightning.
The Panthers are the defending champs and have a bit of work to do in this one before they get the chance to defend the crown. I suppose technically they already are defending the crown, but I mean they still need to find a way to the Stanley Cup Finals. They are 47-31-4 for the season, but were just barely .500 on the road this season. They played pretty good hockey before the end of the year, but they ended the season four points behind Tampa Bay. For the year, the team was taking plenty of shots and outshooting opponents by about five shots per game while they scored roughly three goals per game. Their defense wasn’t fantastic, allowing 2.72 goals per game. In this one they are probably looking to have their goalie Sergei Bobrovsky in the net. Bobrovsky is capable of getting hotter than any goalie in the league. He is 33-19-2 for the season and allows just 2.44 goals per game, good for fourth in the league. He only allowed four goals to Tampa in two starts this season.
