Tampa Bay at Boston

A tough spot for the home team. Boston is home, but has a lot of key injuries, so they will try and slow the pace down against a deep and fast Tampa Bay offense. Boston has lost five in a row going back to last season and is 7-3-4 UNDER the total playing on one day of rest. The Bruins are also 43-17-5 UNDER at home against a team with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Former Norris Trophy winner Zdeno Chara (upper body) and fellow veteran defenseman Dennis Seidenberg (back) missed the first two games for Boston while forward Brad Marchand left Saturday’s game with a concussion. They will struggle against this talented Tampa Bay team off a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals. The Lightning are 36-17 vs. a team with a losing record. Tampa Bay has sevem goals in winning their first two contests behind captain Steven Stamkos, 20-year-old Jonathan Drouin, and Ryan Callahan (three points). Tampa Bay can play defense, too, behind Ben Bishop in net, with the team on a 15-4-2 run UNDER the total on the road. When these teams meet the UNDER is 5-1 at Boston, so grab the talented and healthy visitors in a defensive battle. Play Tampa Bay and the UNDER.
