Tampa Bay is tops in the NHL in goals scored, but they can play defense, too at #12 in goals allowed. Tampa Bay is on a 7-4-1 run UNDER the total. They've also lost four of five because the offense is out of sync, scoring four goals total in the four losses. The UNDER is 5-1 in the Lightning's last six road games. The absence of Tyler Johnson and Victor Hedman aren't helping Tampa Bay's offense. Johnson, second on the team with 67 points, has missed three games with an upper-body injury, while Hedman, who leads Lightning defensemen with 10 goals, has missed the last two with a lower-body injury. They face a Florida team that has no offense, #25 in goals scored and #27 on the power play. Florida is 4-1-3 UNDER the total when playing on one day of rest. Play this one UNDER the total.
