Tampa Bay has won nine of the last 10 meetings, including all three this season following Thursday's 3-2 overtime victory when Victor Hedman scored with one second left in OT to back Andrei Vasilevskiy, who had 35 saves. The Lightning has won six in a row, and the last five have stayed UNDER as it has been getting exceptional goaltending from Vasilevskiy and backup Curtis McElhinney, who is expected in net tonight. He has a 2.70 goals-against average in three starts and was the winner in a 3-1 decision over Carolina on Feb. 25. Tampa Bay is 40-11 after allowing two or fewer goals its previous game and 9-3 playing on no rest. Chicago is 2-8 after scoring two or fewer goals its previous game. The Blackhawks are also 6-1 UNDER playing with no rest. Take the Lightning and the UNDER.
