The Florida Panthers know exactly what they’re up against when the Tampa Bay Lightning come to town Thursday night.

Not only are the Lightning the defending Stanley Cup champions, but it has won its past six games with wins in nine of 11 to kick off the season.

Tampa Bay is outscoring its opponents by a league-high 22 goals, has an All-World goalie who has surrendered just 18 goals in 10 games.

Oh, and the Lightning has won 10 of 12 against the Panthers not including that 5-0 exhibition blowout last summer in Toronto.
