The Florida Panthers already have one road in the bag as they enter Thursday night’s Game 2 of their NHL Playoffs series with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Florida Panthers look to take control of the series as they face the Tampa Bay Lightning. It’s time to continue our Stanley Cup Playoffs odds series with a Panthers-Lightning Game 2 prediction and pick.

The Lightning will defend their teammates, but they don’t have many enforcer types. Defenseman Emil Lilleberg is the exception, but he struggled enough with his own game Tuesday. Still, if there’s someone who can send a message early in Game 2, it’s Lilleberg. And it might be as good for his game as anything else.
