The New York Rangers have never really been in command in this series. They won the first game at home but have dropped three of four since to this talented Tampa Bay team. Henrik Lundqvist was scorched for 12 goals in games two and three and the Rangers are 2-5 against the Atlantic Division. A key has been the top-ranked Tampa Bay offense that has tallied 15 goals the last four games. The Lightning is 11-3 when playing on one day of rest. Tampa Bay owned an NHL-best 32-8-1 home record during the regular season and the team is 40-15 in its last 55 home games. This has been a bad matchup all year for the Rangers, who are not 2-7 against Tampa Bay, so look for the Lightning to close it out at home tonight. Take Tampa Bay.
