Tampa Bay ranks #10 in the NHL in goals scored and fifth on the power play. Ace goalie Ben Bishop is back in net tonight. Rebuilding Edmonton comes off a 3-1 defeat at home to Columbus as a favorite as part of a 2-5 run. They also have only three wins in their last 11 contests. The Oilers are 13-38 when playing on three or more days of rest and the Lightning have won the last three meetings, including a 3-2 triumph at Edmonton last season. Edmonton has been terrible this season as a big favorite, losing 6-2 at home to Buffalo as -180, losing 3-2 at home to Dallas as -175 chalk, and losing 2-1 at home as -220 to Arizona. Take Tampa Bay as a road dog.
