Pittsburgh Penguins and Tampa Bay Lightning head-to-head record
The last five games between the Penguins and the Lightning have been close, with the Penguins capturing four of them. Most of the games have had a lot of points, and Pittsburgh's offense has done well against Tampa Bay. They beat them 7-3 in February 2023 and then beat them 5-4 in an exciting game on April 6, 2024. There was only one win for Tampa Bay during this time, and it came on December 7th, 2023, with a more disciplined 3-1 win. Based on this pattern, the Penguins may try to take advantage of the Lightning's defense again. On the other hand, Tampa Bay will depend on Andrei Vasilevskiy's strong goaltending to stop Pittsburgh's attack and make the game more tightly structured. This will be a tough game, as the Lightning will need to stop Sidney Crosby as well as the Penguins' attack if they want to turn around their recent struggles.
