Tampa Bay (16-5 run) has a dynamite defense at #7 in goals allowed and #8 in killing penalties, with the #9 offense, and a speedy attack that is clicking, winning five in a row. Steven Stamkos extended his goal-scoring streak to a season-high five games, and the Lightning beat the New Jersey Devils 4-0 on Friday. Ben Bishop made 21 saves for his third shutout of the season. Stamkos has totaled four goals in his last three games in Boston, and his 11 at TD Garden, including the playoffs, are his second-most in any opposing arena. The Lightning are 14-2 on the road against a team with a losing home record. Boston is weak on defensive depth and talent, #20 in goals allowed with a losing home mark and on a 5-8-1 skid at home. Boston goalie Tuukka Rask is 0-2-1 with a 4.76 goals-against average in his last three starts against Tampa Bay, so grab the talented and hot vistors. Play Tampa Bay.
