To lay this kind of number, we better have several things in place on the team we are fading: a really bad team that is playing very poorly. Philadelphia is miserable this year. They've won just 8 games and they are 5-13 on the road. They score 2.2 and give up 3.9 on the season. Over their last five games they are scoring just 1.6 per game and they have lost 10 games in a row. They are also just 4-19 this year vs. teams that score 2.9+ goals per game. Tampa Bay meanwhile has won three of four and is solid, if not spectacular, on both offense and defense. Let's fade Philly here as they are as bad as it gets.
