Tampa Bay is 8-2 the past 10 meetings with the Blue Jackets, who have lost eight of 10 home games and 25 of 35 against the Atlantic Division. The Lightning will try to snap a two-game skid although they still have won eight of their past 11 games. Andrei Vasilevskiy did not play when Tampa Bay lost 6-3 at the New York Islanders on Thursday, but he is expected in net tonight with a 16-11-0 record and 2.82 goals-against average. Elvis Merzlikins is expected for Columbus and he is 9-10-7 with a 3.22 GAA. Columbus has lost seven of 10 and this will be its first home game since Jan. 19 and first game since the All-Star break. The Lightning have won 14 of 17 as favorites. Take the Lightning as a Max Play.
