But the Predators have shown that they can beat Tampa Bay when they get into a groove, as shown by their 6-0 and 5-1 wins in September and December 2023. With star players such as Filip Forsberg for Predators and Nikita Kucherov for Lightning leading their efforts, it could come down to how well goalies Juuse Saros and Andrei Vasilevskiy play and how well each team takes advantage of power play chances.
