What a series we’ve had so far! Tampa Bay was able to pull away with a 5-4 victory against the Stars last night. Tonight we have a back to back for the Lightning and Stars in Game 5.
Dallas is in an absolute must-win situation to force Game 6 and with a back-to-back scenario both teams might come out sluggish in the first period before they get their legs back. Tampa Bay has all the signs that they will close this out tonight but the Stars have been very close in the last two games.
Will Tampa close out the series and hoist the Stanley Cup? Tune in and find out tonight, here is everything you need to know to follow the action.
Stanley Cup Finals, Game 5
Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Dallas Stars
- When: Saturday, September 26

Prediction: This has been a tough series to play, the last few games have been too close to call with either team being able to win. Also, every game in this series has been five or more goals so I’m sticking with the over in this game.
Bet: Over 5 goals
