The Tampa Bay Lightning opened the season at 6-1 that was spearheaded by an unsustainable offensive assault. The Lightning produced 37 goals in those seven games at 5.4 per contest, but have been met with an inevitable fate. The offense has stalled, producing just a total of 3 goals in their last two games. New Jersey at 5-1-3 is capable of keeping the Lightning offense under wraps, as they have allowed 2 goals or less in six of their nine games, including just a single goal in their last two. The Lightning have been dreadful on the road vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600, where they are just 1-10 in their last 11. The Devils have the Lightnings' number at 20-6 in the last 26 meetings, including 9-2 here. Play on New Jersey.
