At 34-16-5 on the season, the Tampa Bay Lightning have turned the corner and have a team that can make a deep playoff run. Once considered just an offensive team, they have been much more consistent on the defensive end, holding 22 teams to 2 goals or fewer on the season. Nashville has become a bonafide Stanley Cup contender, and they have played lights out at home where they are an impressive 21-3-1 on the season. The success begins and ends at the defensive end as they have allowed a stingy 2.2 goals per contest on home ice. This will be the Lightning's fourth game in six days, and they have relied on defense in this situation, posting a 6-1 mark to the UNDER in their last six in this spot. Nashville is in their third game in four nights, and has yet to top the total in any of the previous five in that situation. Take the UNDER.
