First-place Tampa Bay is a powerhouse on defense, second in the league in goals allowed. This is their fourth straight road game and the team is 7-3 UNDER the total when their opponent scores five goals or more in their previous game. Goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy is back in net for the Lightning after being rested Saturday and owns a 5-0-0 record with a .944 save percentage in December. He is third in the NHL in both save percentage (.934) and goals against (2.11). Tampa Bay is 14-3 UNDER the total on the road after scoring three goals or more in three straight games, plus 24-12 UNDER away after tallying three goals or more in two straight contests. Vegas is playing well, winning six of the last seven. The defense has been sharp allowing three goals the last two contests. The Golden Knights have gained at least a point in a seven straight games (6-0-1) to move within two points of the top spot in the Western Conference. Look for both red-hot teams to being their 'A' game defensively. Play the UNDER.
