Tampa Bay has won two in a row and five of seven after defeating Detroit on Saturday. Nikita Kucherov and Jake Guentzel had a goal and two assists to back Andrei Vasilevskiy, who stopped 39 shots for the Lightning. Tampa Bay has won four straight against teams that scored at least five goals in their previous game, and Toronto comes off a 7-3 win over Montreal. That was one less goal than the Maple Leafs had combined to score in their previous four games. Tampa Bay is 4-0-1 UNDER its past five games against opponents with winning records. This season, Toronto is 17-9-1 UNDER at home, including four of its past six. Tampa Bay has won six of nine against the Eastern Conference. Vasilevskiy is 20-13-2 with a 2.35 goals-against average, and the Lightning are in double revenge. Take the Lightning and the UNDER.
