Tampa Bay at Dallas

Tampa Bay has it all, with speed on offense, #14 in goals scored, and a dominant defense, fourth in goals allowed and sixth in penalty killing. Goalie Ben Bishop took the last game off but has been solid in net with a 7-1-1 record since February 20. The Lightning are 8-2 against the Western Conference and on a 7-2 run on the road. They face a young Dallas team that has dropped three of four and 10 of 14. Defense is a concern. The Stars' bid for the West's best record took a hit with Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Los Angeles. The Stars' goaltending concerns grew louder as they allowed at least five goals for the sixth time since February 18. They are the league's only team with a 4.00 goals-against average while playing 13 games in that span. Leading scorers Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin were held without a point for just the 16th time. The Stars are 3-8-5 in those contests and face another great defense tonight. Dallas is 3-8 against the Eastern Conference and Tampa Bay has won five of the last six in Dallas. Play Tampa Bay.
