Tampa Bay at San Jose

Tampa Bay is a long way from home playing its third road game of a four-game trip. They're strong at home (21-9-4) but a .500 road team (16-16-2). Tampa Bay is not an elite defensive squad ranked 24th in goals given up (3.35 per game) and 30th in save percentage (.894). They're off an emotional win over defending champion Vegas with two third-period goals. Tampa Bay is 9-16 on the road after scoring three or more goals in four consecutive contests, 8-14 after a three-game unbeaten streak, and 2-10 on the road after a road game where both teams netted three or more goals. San Jose is delighted to be home after a lousy five-game trek. In their last home game, they topped Ottawa, 2-1, as a +200 underdog. San Jose is 9-5 at home after having lost 12 or more of their last 15, making this an excellent situational spot for the big home dog. Play San Jose.
