This is a big game for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Tampa Bay has slowly grown as a team and are finally getting to elite status with their 20-11-4 start to the season. They are coming off a five-game road trip where they had little success, but they have been a very tough out at home where they are 12-4-1 on the season. They have also played 7 of their last 10 games to the UNDER, and have not relied solely on the offense which has been the case over the past couple of seasons. Pittsburgh is a big challenge at 22-6-5 on the season, but the Penguins have been leaking oil on the road where they dropped the first on this road trip to Florida making it three straight losses on the road. Tampa Bay has even a bit more incentive here after losing just eight days ago in Pittsburgh, have a lot riding on this one if they want to be considered amongst the elite in the league. The Lightning have come up with 10 wins in their last 13 at home, and the last 31 meetings here have seen the UNDER go 19-9-3, and this is the third game in four nights for Pittsburgh, which has yielded a 13-3 mark to the UNDER in their last 16. Play on Tampa Bay and the UNDER in this one.
