The Tampa Bay Lightning come into this game well rested and ON FIRE offensively. They haven’t played since the 14th and have played just one game since the 12th, and in those 2 games they have scored 13 goals! The Lightning boast one of the deepest offensive units in the league, coming into this game with the 3rd MOST goals in the Eastern Conference, and 4th most in the entire league! Brayden Point, Brandon Hagel, Nikita Kucherov, and Jake Guentzel all have the ability to take over a game. Tampa Bay ALSO boasts one of the best goalies in the league in Andrei Vasilevskiy. He’s been especially dominant at home this year, giving up just 2.08 goals against per game on average across 13 games. That’s BAD NEWS for the Columbus Blue Jackets, who average a WOEFUL 2.63 goals per game on the road this season! They are one of the WORST teams in the ENTIRE LEAGUE on the road this year, coming into this game with a 4-10-2 record away from Nationwide Arena. On top of all of this, it’s their 3rd game in 4 nights, with the first game coming in overtime! The Lightning have the better team across the board, are at home, AND have the rest advantage in this game! If Tampa Bay’s offense can pick up where it’s left off, Tampa Bay shouldn’t have ANY ISSUES securing their 3rd straight win and handing Columbus their 5th straight loss!
Best Line: -155 BetMGM at the time of this post.
