The back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions have a chance to take another step toward the first three-peat since the New York Islanders in the early 1980's.

They have a 3-0 series lead on the Florida Panthers, and can complete the sweep at home on Monday night. The Panthers, who won the Presidents Trophy as the team that finished with the best record in the regular season, is in danger of getting eliminated by their in-state rival for the second-straight season.

Let's take a look at the odds via WynnBET for Monday night's Game 4.

Panthers vs. Lightning Prediction and Pick

After cashing in on the Lightning in the first two games, I made the fatal mistake of going a different direction betting on the total in Game 3. I've learned from my mistake, and I'm back on Tampa Bay in Game 4 to complete the series sweep.

The Lightning have proven to be the better team in this series, or at least a team that has the ability to shut down the Panthers high-octane offense. Tampa Bay's roster is built to succeed in the playoffs. Flashy goal-scorers, disciplined defense, and one of the top goaltenders in the NHL.

I'm sorry Panthers fans, your season ends here.

Pick: Lightning -125
