Khudobin is doing basically the most engrossing he can, nonetheless he needs aid. He made 30 saves Friday nonetheless smooth conceded 5 targets.

The Stars defense needs to make extra stress on the blue strains and restrict the Lightning’s opportunities to make probabilities, develop passes and receive in the skating sport.

Tampa Bay is firing on all cylinders, even though, and with their second Cup since 2004 of their judge, they gained’t let this likelihood slide away.
