Pittsburgh has been en fuego, winning seven in a row while Tampa Bay has continued to struggle. This line seems a bit funny to you, doesn't it? It seems to be begging for action on the hot Penguins team vs. the lowly cold Lightning. That should set off some flags, as it does for us. We like Tampa Bay at home. First off, the Lightning are a perfect 8-0 vs. Pittsburgh the last three seasons. Vincent Lecavalier is scoring on everyone and he will get help from his defense here at home. Tampa Bay, despite being a horrendous road team, is a winning team at home, outscoring opponents by a half a goal per game. Tampa Bay can ride momentum, too. They beat the Rangers 5-3 last game and they are 10-1 the past two seasons coming off a road win by 2 goals.
