The Devils must win this game if they are going to stay alive in the playoffs. However, with the way the Devils have been playing, even with huge actors dressing the part of a Devils fan complete with face paint it could be hard for the New Jersey team to get the win. What is really bad for the Devils is outside of the win on the series the Devils have been getting completely controlled.

The Lightning are one home ice and are really looking to pick up some extra rest games here. However, that could really happen here as the Lightning find themselves only 1 game away from advancing after they have really dominated the Devils in the series so far and picked up a win in the last outing.
In the last outing the Devils had Cory Schneider in the net. Schneider managed to play some great hockey in the game, but he did end up dropping quite a few goals as he faced a total of 36 shots and allowed 2 goals. He only managed to save 94.4% of the shots, but had no offensive support at all really well.

The Lightning are going to rely on Andrei Vasilevskity in the net. On the day Vasilevskity was able to make a total of 27 saves out of the 28 shots that he had faced in the net. However, he did get the offensive support that he needed to have.

The Lightning are on the cusp of advancing to the next round and the Devils are the only thing standing in between the and the win. At home so far this series in the first 2 games the Lightning shut down the Devils offense and the Lightning offense scored a total of 10 goals in 2 games. Final Score Prediction, Tampa Bay Lighting win and cover the puck line 5-1.
