Carolina is 25-7-1 at home this season and the Lightning haven't been as good on the road with a 14-14-2 record. Carolina is on a four-game winning streak and Tampa suffered an ugly 4-0 loss to the Boston Bruins in their most recent contest. If Victor Hedman does not play in this game like the previous game, it will be even tougher for the Lightning to prevail. Carolina's defense and penalty kill should help them prevail in this one.
