Columbus at Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay Lightning have a mediocre road resume on the season, but this has been a Stanley Cup caliber team at home where they seldom lose, and come into this game at 20-4-1 on home ice for the season. They have averaged winning by 1.4 goals on the season here. Columbus has been the NHL's worst road team for a prolonged period of time as the Blue Jackets own a woeful 174-354-15 record in their last 543 road games. Columbus closed their last road trip with a 4-0 loss, and opened this one with a loss at Florida. They are also just 42-95 in their last 137 games vs. a winning team. The Lightning have certainly showed up vs. losing teams where they own a 50-24 mark in their last 74, and Columbus has won just once in their last six here. Play on Tampa Bay.
