Minuses:The Penguins need to continue to have discipline. They took one penalty in Game 2 (Murray for tripping) but took three in Game 1, one of which led to a Lightning power-play goal. If they want to continue to be physical, they need to remain disciplined while doing it.
Pittsburgh needs to be able to continue to play the speed and skill game. That's who the Penguins are and what they are: speed and skill in the offensive zone, and speed, reads and pressure in the defensive zone.
Lastly, the Penguins need to get contributions from everyone. Crosby and Kessel, who had two of the three goals, are two of their top scorers.

Pluses: The great thing for Tampa Bay is that its goaltending is going to be great every night. Fortunately, Ben Bishop's injury is nowhere near as serious as it appeared to be, and coach Jon Cooper even said Tuesday that he could return sometime in this series. Andrei Vasilevskiy came in to replace him in Game 1 and got the win, then he made 38 saves and still gave them a chance to win Game 2.
Defenseman Anton Stralman, who hadn't played since March 25 with a broken left fibula, not only scored but had three shots and two blocks in 18:39 of ice time, helping to solidify the defense, and he also adds a presence on the power play. He's a huge addition to a team that already won two rounds without him and injured center Steven Stamkos.
The Lightning did what they had to do, winning one game on the road. True, they would've preferred to be up 2-0 in the series, but if they win their three home games, they will advance to the Stanley Cup Final for the second straight season. Tampa Bay is 5-1 at Amalie Arena in the playoffs.
