Tampa Bay won the only meeting this season 5-4 in overtime on Nov. 20 and the Lightning come off a 4-1 win over Minnesota on Thursday when defenseman Darren Raddysh scored his first two goals of the season and Andrei Vasilevskiy had 22 saves. Vasilevskiy is 9-8-0 with a 2.83 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage. Boston has been streaky the past few weeks losing four in a row before winning four straight and then the Bruins lost 6-5 to Pittsburgh when the teams combined for five goals in the first eight minutes. Jeremy Swayman gave up all six goals and Linus Ullmark is expected back in net for Boston tonight. Tampa Bay has won six of 10 and it is getting good line value in this matchup. Take the Lightning.
