Tampa Bay comes into this game on a three game losing streak and has allowed at least six goals in each of the three losses. Toronto will be on the second game of a back to back and they have won three of their last four games. The Lightning need to find some momentum heading into the playoffs and they have a chance to get it here against the team they will be playing in the playoffs. I like Tampa Bay to get the home win.
