New Jersey inexplicably found offense in game one. They entered the playoffs with the lowest goal total of any team (216) but scored 5 goals in game one. We don't think they can do that again. Despite the loss, Tampa Bay has still won three of the last five games here in New Jersey including two of the last three. They are 22-20 on the road on the season and have a shot here again. The Lightning are 10-2 after allowing 3+ goals in three straight games this season and we think they make a stand here.
