Tampa's John Grahame has posted 3 shutouts in 4 starts as Tampa has been playing great hockey. The Lighnight have won seven of their last nine overall. They Islanders are off a win but they are just 6-17 in that situation this season, struggling to put together back-to-back good performances. They are also only 3-11 this season at home vs. winning teams. Home underdogs at 40%-49% on the season revenging a close loss by 1 goal or less are just 3-24 (11%) when playing a winning team during the second half of the season over the past five seasons. Tampa is just playing too good defense right now while New York is giving up 3.6 goals per game. Two stars on the Lightning.
