Thiessen's Tuesday NHL Playoffs Pick: Lightning and Hurricanes clash in Carolina

Tampa bay looks to go up 2-0 on the road in Stanley Cup playoffs

A 2-0 lead in a NHL Stanley Cup Playoff series is always good.

But a 2-0 lead after two games on the road to start a series is excellent.

That is where the defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning hope to be tonight after Game 2 against Carolina.

I think that is exactly what happens.
