Morning Coffee: Lightning Strike First In Second Round

For the first time in these playoffs, the Tampa Bay Lightning are a betting favourite to win their series.

The Lightning were a series underdog throughout the entire first round and then entering their second-round series against the Florida Panthers.

After a 4-1 win in Florida last night, Tampa Bay’s odds to advance went from +128 to -160 at FanDuel Sportsbook.

The two-time defending Stanley Cup champions are 12-2 all-time when they win Game 1 of a best-of-seven series. 

Now 11 wins away from completing the improbable three-peat, the Lightning’s odds to win it all again are on the move. 

Here’s the TSN EDGE Morning Coffee for Wednesday, May 18th, 2022.
