Tampa Bay Lightning

The Tampa Bay Lightning are probably the hottest team in hockey right now. They are on a six game winning streak, and have not lost since being down 3-1 in the Pittsburgh series. After winning tonight 4-3 the Lightning are leading the series 3-0. Only 3 teams have ever come back from a 3-0 deficit , one of those teams being the Philadelphia Flyer's who came back last year against the Boston bruins. The Lightning in my eyes will take this series in four games. I don't think Washington has enough momentum to come back. Vincent Lecavalier has scored in two of the three games against Washington, and has 5 points in the three games. Both Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis have 11 points in this years playoffs. They are both tied for 2nd place in the playoff scoring race. Only 1 point back of Philadelphia's Claude Giroux. Steve Downie and Teddy Purcell both follow up with 10, and 9 points. Steven Stamkos only has 6 points so far, and when he starts to catch fire it will only help the Lightning benefit more. With the Way they have been playing of late I wouldn't be surprised to see them competing for the Cup in the Stanley Cup finals. Once again the Capitals are going to be upset in the playoffs after wining the Eastern Conference.
