Tampa Bay at New York

Tampa Bay is a .500 road team and plays its fifth road game of a brutal six-game road trek. The offense has looked worn out, off back-to-back 3-1 defeats. The Lightening had to play last night, losing at New Jersey, and the team is 5-12 playing on no days of rest. It's also their third game in four nights. The New York Rangers have won four of five games at Madison Square Garden and outshot their opponent 33-18 in the only loss. New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist is 19-13-6 in his career against Tampa Bay, and has allowed just 11 goals in his last five games. The Rangers have been getting balanced scoring, are tops in the NHL in goals scored, and are 5-for-13 on the power play in their last four contests. The home team holds all the cards and the Rangers are also 54-25 when their opponent scores two or fewer goals in their previous game. Take the NY Rangers.
