Buffalo at Tampa Bay

It used to be very rare to see an NHL total posted at 7 or higher, but as scoring increased over the past two seasons we have seen more than all other years combined. It's the new norm and over the past five-plus years, Tampa Bay has played 245 games that saw both teams combine to score 7+ goals. Combine that with the fact that all Buffalo games this season have averaged 7.2 goals per game, and both these teams have winning records playing the OVER. These teams are also 6-1-1 to the OVER in their last eight meetings. Make the play OVER the total.
