Tampa Bay is on an 11-2 run, ranked fourth in the NHL in scoring, and top 10 in shots on goal, while the defense is #10 in goals allowed. The Lightning is 35-17 as a road favorite. Goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy (23-9-2, .916 save percentage) sat out Thursday and is ready to go tonight. He has a sizzling .961 save percentage in January. He faces a Winnipeg squad on a 5-9 run, ranked #16 in scoring, #20 in shots on goal. The Jets have been saddled with injuries to their defensive corps, allowing 39 goals the last 11 contests, so back the red-hot visitors. Play Tampa Bay.
