TAMPA, FLA. (WFLA) — The Tampa Bay Lightning will face the Florida Panthers in the first round of Stanley Cup Playoffs.
A tale as old as time. We’ve seen this movie before. The Lightning and Panthers are facing each other in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs once again.
The Lightning beat the Panthers in six games in the first round in 2021. However, the Bolts swept them in the second round in 2022.
Florida beat Tampa Bay in five games in the first round last year.
The Bolts will finish the regular season against the New York Rangers in New York on Thursday.
