Tampa Bay might still be in shock after blowing a 3-0 lead on home ice and losing 4-3 to the Blue Jackets in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series. Seth Jones scored the go-ahead goal on the power play and Columbus scored three third-period goals to pull out the win. Sergei Bobrovsky had 26 saves for the Blue Jackets while Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 22-of-26 shots in an uncharacteristic performance for the Lightning goalie. The Blue Jackets have now won six road games in a row and eight of their last nine overall while the Lightning has lost four of its last five playoff games as a favorite going back to last season. The UNDER is 11-3 in Columbus' last 14 road games and the UNDER is 22-9-1 the last 32 meetings. Look for a lower-scoring game in Game 2 and play the Blue Jackets on the puckline and also back the UNDER.
