Tampa Bay has won four straight after defeating Minnesota 7-3 on Thursday as Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 30 of 33 shots and the Lightning have scored 19 goals during the streak. Vasilevskiy is 13-9-0 with a 2.86 goals-against average and was the winner in all four games and he is probable today after allowing nine goals in that span. Buffalo has won three of five, but they were against Ottawa, San Jose and Chicago, which are three of the weakest teams in the league. The Lightning have won five of six as favorites of -110 to -150 and the Sabres have lost four of five as underdogs. Tampa Bay is 6-1-1 OVER its past eight versus Atlantic Division opponents. Buffalo's goalie is expected to be Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and he is 11-9-2. Take the Lightning and the OVER.
