The Lightning return home in a 0-2 hole to the Florida Panthers in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Tampa Bay has seen this movie before. They came home down 0-2 to the New York Rangers in the 2022 playoffs, and they proceeded to rip off four straight wins to take the series. Lightning head coach Jon Cooper says this year's team is going to take a similar approach to the one that came back and advanced to the Stanley Cup Final.
