Ottawa at Tampa Bay

Both Ottawa and Tampa will be out for their third consecutive wins as they face-off in Tampa tonight. For the first time the Lightning have won back-to-back games under coach Barry Melrose. They have, however, really struggled on home ice this season with just a 1-2-3 mark as Ottawa is now picking up steam by winning each of their last two on the road. This has been a series completely dominated by Ottawa who has won 12 of the last 16 played between these teams. More importantly is that they have taken the last two of three played in Tampa, and in a longer run they have won six of the last eight in Tampa. Ottawa has it going on the road (3-1) and playing well against a team they have dominated. Ottawa gets the call here.
