Tampa Bay has taken a 2-1 series lead over the Columbus Blue Jackets. This series has been very tight, and the difference has been on the power play where Columbus is converting an ugly 7.7%, while Tampa Bay is right around 17%. Columbus is in pretty much a must-win situation. Despite trailing in the series, the Blue Jackets have responded well to the Lightning and match-up favorably having won five of the last eight meetings overall. The Lightning certainly isn't playing at their best in this series, and I look for another game that goes late in the 3rd with the outcome hanging in the balance. Make the play on Columbus on the puckline.
