Carolina at Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay is 10-4 at home this season, crushing all comers. They are averaging 3.8 goals per game while allowing just 2.2. Against division foes they are pouring in 4.1 goals per game. Carolina has played very little defense all season long and right now they are plyaing very poorly. Over their last five games they have allowed 3.8 goals per game while scoring just 2.4. When you give up 8 goals in a game, something is seriously wrong. They bounced back after that embarrassment last game but now that is done, and we expect them to return to their normal play. Tampa Bay has won 28 of 40 games at home the past three seasons when favored on the moneyline between -100 and -150 and we like them here on the puckline.
