The Lightning and Carolina Hurricanes square off tonight from PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina. A season after dominating the NHL only to bow out during first round playoff action vs. Columbus, Tampa Bay seeks redemption.

Last year, Tampa Bay dominated their regular season set 3-0 vs. Carolina while covering the puck line during each meeting.
Tampa Bay Lightning
Following their first round implosion against Columbus, Tampa Bay maxed its cap-space to retain hockey’s best roster. Looking to avoid another collapse, the Lightning signed newly minted NHL champion ‘Big Rig’ Patrick Maroon away from St. Louis.
Maroon joins a star-laden core featuring Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos, Tyler Johnson, and a host of others, which form the league’s deepest lines.
Such depth will help Tampa Bay navigate their first month this season minus Brayden Point. The recently re-signed Center is re-having from an offseason hip injury.

Carolina Hurricanes
Behind solid defense and superb net-minding, Carolina’s offense has added just enough spark for the Hurricanes to enter game three of 2019 unblemished.
Jake Gardiner played hero late Saturday scoring the tie-breaking overtime goal which placed Carolina past Washington 3-2. Goalie James Reimer stopped 32 shots becoming stronger as the contest progressed.
While some are doubting Carolina’s second half rise from 2019, this team offers a unique blend of up-and-coming talent. The Hurricanes play with a collective chip-on-shoulder mentality combined with exuberance.
Expect top level hockey from tonight’s contest.

Free Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Carolina Hurricanes NHL Prediction:
Also expect professional focus from the Lightning after an offseason spent wondering what, exactly, went wrong during ‘their’ year. Realizing franchises only have limited championship contention windows, regular season stalwart Tampa Bay will make an example of upstart Carolina.
Each team enters tonight’s marquee Eastern Conference affair having played Saturday. Hence, the deeper squad will rise, and though Carolina’s deep, they can’t match the Lightning’s talent wave.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Lightning SU
That talent will carry Tampa Bay to a statement victory this evening vs. quality opposition. And with Carolina slightly favored by the books, Tampa Bay is worth placing chalk on.
