Tampa Bay is 3,000 miles from home playing its fifth road game over the last seven contests. The defense has allowed 10 goals the last two games, as well as 24 the last six contests. However, they are favored against an Anaheim group that is 10-4-4 at home playing the second of a six-game homestand. Anaheim is 36-15 at home against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Anaheim won at Tampa Bay last month, 3-1, as a +200 dog. Anaheim goalie John Gibson has a .934 save percentage all-time against the Lightning, and the Ducks are 22-8 after allowing five goals or more in their previous game. Play Anaheim.
