San Jose at Tampa Bay

img7:00 PM Eastern

The Sharks have picked up their defense recently while on the road. They have given up an average of 2.3 goals during their last three games, all of which have been on the road. San Jose just held Florida to one goal in a 4-1 win on Monday. This is the Sharks' final game of their four-game road swing. San Jose has averaged two goals a game the past two times when playing without rest. The spot isn't favorable for Tampa Bay either. The Lightning just concluded a five-game road trip that ended with a 4-1 victory against the Stars two days ago. Tampa Bay has permitted only nine goals in regulation during its last six games. During this span, the Lightning held top-scoring Colorado to two goals and limited Dallas, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia to one goal. Star goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy is projected to be a net for Tampa Bay. Vasilevskiy has a .921 save percentage with a 2.22 goals against average in 12 lifetime starts against the Sharks. Take the UNDER.
