The Lightning will once again attempt to break their losing streak against their cross town rival. It will be the second of five meetings this season between the two clubs and the first of two in Sunrise. the Lightning already defeated the Panthers 5-2 this season in Tampa.
the Bolts will be facing a Panthers team that hardly scores and gives up a ton of goals, yet has found a way to win four times. They have been shut out twice in their last three games and are near last in goals per game this season in the NHL.
The Bolts will have Lindback back for this one, who is 2-0 against the Panthers in his career with 1.00 GAA. Stamkos will also hope to break out of a slump, as hes been a panthers killer lately, getting a point in six straight games against them.

Goals per game: Panthers: 2.23 (25th) Lightning: 3.77 (1st)
