Tampa Bay Lightning

Tampa Bay is gearing up for another Stanley Cup campaign. The Lightning last won back-to-back championships, followed by another playoff series, but things went downhill. Now, they are hungry for more and are a formidable force to be reckoned with.

However, John Cooper's side has slowed down a little ahead of the Cup clash. In their last six meetings, they have beaten the Rangers and Buffalo twice—5-1 and 7-4 —and lost four times. Nevertheless, the Lightning remain third in the Eastern Conference standings.

Florida Panthers

Florida is spending the current season as the current holder of the Stanley Cup. The Southlanders enjoyed historic success a year ago, but they're not stopping there and have been solid in the current campaign.

There was a slight dip in form at the turn of March and April, but in their last four games they have suffered just one defeat, a 5-3 loss to the Rangers, while beating Toronto 3-1, Detroit 4-1 and Buffalo 3-2. Florida is fifth in the Eastern Conference standings.
