Tampa Bay at New Jersey

Tampa Bay has it all, a winning road record, a dominant defense that is #8 in goals allowed, and a speedy offense that is #10 in goals scored. Steven Stamkos has a goal in four consecutive games, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 29 saves as the Lightning won their fourth straight by beating the Arizona Coyotes 2-1 on Tuesday. The defending Eastern Conference champs are tied for second place in the Atlantic Division with Boston. Goalie Ben Bishop will be in net and is 4-2-0 with a 1.46 goals-against average against the Devils. Tampa Bay is 11-3 following a win. They face the worst offense in the NHL in slumping New Jersey, off a 6-1 loss last night at Columbus. New Jersey is 8-20 the past two seasons after a game in which 7+ goals were scored. This is a bad matchup, and situational spot, against a hot team, so grab the visitors. Play Tampa Bay.
