Tampa Bay at San Jose

The Tampa Bay Lightning have generated 24 points in the standings, and only St. Louis with 25 has more. They will head to San Jose to take on the Sharks who have a well earned reputation of playing well at home where they are 305-195 in their last 500 games here. One of the reasons for the record is the way they have defended here over the years. In those 500 games, their opponents have averaged a meager 2.4 goals per game. They are right about on that average again this season at 2.5. The Lightning have an elite offensive attack, but have not played particularly well lately. Tampa Bay is on three days of rest and could lack the sharpness early on, and teams with three days of rest score just 2.3 goals per game in San Jose. Play the UNDER.
