Remember the last time these two teams met? Ottawa dominated the full 60 minutes, and I fully expect to see the same thing again.

Trevor
4-1 Lightning
GWG: Nikita Kucherov

The Lightning are playing more like the team that people expected them to be, and that's not good for Ottawa. Pound for pound, Tampa is just better at everything. This matchup is always hard.
