The Lightning have flipped the switch of their journey in round one, as they looked down and out after the first two games. The Lightning have put forth a fantastic performance, and they are close to tying the series.

After a road win, they would fancy their chances against the defending champions again. Tampa Bay will be without Oliver Bjorkstrand, as he continues to recover from a lower-body injury.

The Panthers took an unexpected hit as they lost a home game and the opportunity to go 3-0 up in the series. They head into game four with a fully fit roster.
