These teams have played on about the same level this season overall, but the Lightning have been prone to bad stretches and a pair of three-game winning streaks have done about all the damage in the win column. One of those three-game win streaks required a shootout or OT in all three, so they haven't exactly been in a comfort zone even when they win. The Devils have played plus hockey on the road this season, and lately they have grabbed three of their last four on opponent’s ice. They have found themselves with a high degree of frequency in low-scoring affairs after reaching the net five or more times in their previous game, following with an 18-5-3 mark to the UNDER in the last 26 times in this situation. They are also 20-7 in their last 27 when facing an opponent that allowed 2 or less in their last contest. The Devils are also a money-making 29-12-10 to the UNDER after posting a win in their previous game. The Lightning enters this one having seen just four of their last 16 as home chalk eclipse the total, and the Devils have owned the ice in Tampa Bay winning six of their last seven here. Play on New Jersey and the UNDER in this one.
