Tampa Bay rebounded from a 6-5 overtime loss in Game 3 with a dominating 6-2 victory on Saturday. The Lightning came out flying, scoring three goals on seven shots against Sergei Bobrovsky in the first period. Andrei Vasilevskiy had 39 saves for the Lightning, who have returned to their championship-contending level after losing their last three regular season games. Nikita Kucherov had a goal and three assists and he now has nine points in the first four postseason games, and Alex Killorn scored two goals 94 seconds apart in the second period. All of which shows that the Lightning are back at the top of their game and they are 21-8 after scoring at least five goals their previous game, 20-8 when their opponent allowed five or more goals its previous game. Tampa Bay has won 15 of the past 22 meetings. Tampa Bay has also gone UNDER four of its past five games with one day of rest, 4-1-1 UNDER their past six road games, and stayed UNDER five of its past seven after scoring at least five goals. The UNDER is 7-3 in Florida's past 10 games after it allowed five or more goals its previous game. Andrei Vasilevskiy is 34-10-2 this season with a 2.30 goals-against average, .924 save percentage and five shutouts. He has plenty of playoff experience, including a championship. Play the Lightning and take the UNDER.
