Columbus looks like a road weary team, playing three of the last four away. This offense has been terrible, scoring 2 goals or fewer in 5 of the last 10, as well as a 3-1 run UNDER the total. Columbus ranks #25 in the NHL in goals scored. They've scored just 13 goals over a 2-5-1 stretch and rank near the bottom of the league with 2.28 goals per game. They won't try and pick up the pace against a Tampa Bay defense that is #9 in the NHL in goals allowed, allowing 2 total goals the last two games. Tampa Bay opened a four-game homestand with Thursday's 5-0 win over Buffalo. The UNDER is 4-1 when the Lightning face a team with a winning percentage below .400. When these teams meet the UNDER is 13-3-1, including 6-1-1 UNDER in Tampa Bay. Play this one UNDER the Total.
