Tampa Bay Lightning
The Lightning come into this game winners of four out of their last five games, as they avenged their loss to Boston on Thursday with a 5-1 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. It looks like the only thing that may stop this team this year is a hot goalie in the playoffs. This team is scary good.

Free Winnipeg Jets vs. Tampa Bay Lightning NHL Prediction:
The Jets could give the Lightning a run for their money, and a win here is kind of a necessity for them if they want to finish the season as the top team in the Central Division. But Tampa Bay has only lost 5 games all year on home ice.
And because of their home record, take the Lightning to win this game on Tuesday night. I don’t think anything can stop them now, they are destined to hoist the Cup this year.
