NHL Free Picks YTD 1-0 (100%) +$145

GM #5 Tampa Bay Lightning ml +104 (pinnacle) risking $100 to win $104

In home and home series I like to take the loser of the first game and “Play On” that team the next game in the series.  This is the case here as the Lightning lost to Florida in OT on Saturday night 5-4 and now play at Florida where they have won the last seven of eight games there.  Tampa can score in bunches and have done well against it’s in state rival with scoring four or more goals in their last seven of eight meetings and in three of those meetings were 5 or more.  Florida only 2 wins in their last 8 and in both those wins they were outshot by their opponent.  Florida has trouble putting back-to-back winning effects so far this season.  The Lightning have not lost two in a row to Florida in six years and with this cheap price to pay for this spot (mentioned at the beginning) I see Tampa having the far higher probability to win this game.
