Ottawa at Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay Lightning have finished each of the last 10 NHL seasons above .500. This team is lowing that line this year. The Lightning may not have full focus here as their last game on home ice saw an eight game home winning streak snapped. Sometimes that makes it hard for the players to take a breath. The Ottawa Senators have won four of their last six games. The Senators are a mediocre team, playing well right now. Ottawa will be seeking revenge for a four goal loss to Tampa Bay and teams that have generally rested over the past two weeks as a dog of up to +200 are 66-45. I like Ottawa in this one.
