Tampa goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy had a shaky first round against the Toronto Maple Leafs and his challenge only grows more with the high-powered Panthers bearing down on him. That said, the Panthers had some issues getting past the physical Washington Capitals in the first round — and the Lightning knows how to play that kind of game. I'm picking the home team to at least hold serve in Game 1, but the Lightning in no way should be a pushover even with star forward Brayden Point being highly doubtful to suit up.
