Trends

Tampa Bay is 39-12 in their last 51 games against the Pacific and 5-1 in their last 6 games following a win. The over is 2-0-3 in Tampa Bay’s last 5 games. Seattle is 8-0 in their last 8 games and 6-0 in their last 6 games against the Eastern Conference. The under is 11-3-1 in Seattle’s last 15 home games.

Pick

These two teams come into this game with very similar point totals and have been playing very good hockey lately. Tampa Bay is on a three game winning streak, while Seattle has won eight games in a row and will be on home ice. Tampa Bay has a nice advantage on special teams and I think that will be the difference maker. I like the Lightning to get the road win.
