The Tampa Bay Lightning are looking to even up the series with another road win in Game 4 against the Florida Panthers tonight.
My Lightning vs. Panthers picks are targeting Jake Guentzel to stay hot in the best NHL picks on Monday, April 28.
Who will win Lightning vs Panthers Game 4?
The Tampa Bay Lightning played arguably their worst game of the series in Game 3 but came away with a 5-1 win. They were outshot 34-22 but Andrei Vasilevskiy was on his game in a much-needed bounceback effort.
The Lightning will also have a refreshed Brandon Hagel back after his one-game suspension for Game 3. This should be a long series and I’ll take the Lightning to win again as road underdogs.
Lightning vs Panthers prediction
My Lightning vs Panthers pick: Jake Guentzel Over 0.5 points (-160 at Sports Interaction)
Jake Guentzel helped lead the way for the Lightning with two assists and a goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Florida Panthers.
Guentzel has been one of the most active Lightning players this series, tying for the team lead in shot attempts (12) and shots on goal (7) at 5-on-5 play. He's managed to generate in high-danger areas with a team-leading 11 scoring chances (seven of the high-danger variety).
The Lightning winger plays on both the top line and top power-play unit with Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov.
Tampa’s man advantage is struggling a bit with just one goal on 13 attempts. But given how physical this series has been and those 13 power plays through three games, the Lightning are bound to get a few chances again in Game 4 and it's only a matter of time before they capitalize.
Guentzel thrives in these big moments, tallying a point in nine of his last 10 games against the Panthers.

Lightning moneyline
Guentzel didn’t get a shot on goal in Game 2, but he’s bookended that with six SOG on as many attempts in Game 1 and five on seven attempts in Game 3. He should look to shoot again in Game 4.
The Lightning winger has scored in two of three games thus far and has five goals in his last six games overall. Against the Panthers, Guentzel has scored in three of four and four of the last six matchups.
