PREDICTION SCREEN

RAW likes Tampa Bay Lightning to win.

WHY RAW LIKES IT

  • Tampa Bay's defensive-results edge (2.71 goals allowed per game versus Vancouver's 4.56).
  • More intact, higher-end available scoring core.
  • Home ice while Vancouver concluded a lengthy road trip.
  • Vancouver's 31st-ranked penalty kill.

BIGGEST CONCERN

Hildeby—not Vasilevskiy—was the expected Tampa Bay starter.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG

  • Meriläinen's early even-strength and high-danger save results were strong.
  • Vancouver had its main offensive names available, including Chytil after his return.

BOTTOM LINE

Tampa Bay's defensive-results edge (2.71 goals allowed per game versus Vancouver's 4.56). The concern: Hildeby—not Vasilevskiy—was the expected Tampa Bay starter.
