Litter Box Cats 2022-23 Live Discussion Forum: Game 28
It will be a battle of reverse retro sweaters this afternoon when the Florida Panthers (13-10-4) visit the Tampa Bay Lightning (16-9-1) at Amalie Arena in the second meeting of the season between the Sunshine State’s two NHL teams. After returning home from a five-game road trip, the Panthers scored an important 5-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings in their last outing. The Bolts are coming off a 5-2 win over the Nashville Predators and have won nine of their last twelve games. Brayden Point’s power-play goal 2:08 into overtime lifted the Lightning to a 3-2 victory over the Panthers in the first meeting at FLA Live Arena back on October 21.
