Tampa Bay has two full days of rest and is playing well. Tampa Bay is third in the NHL in goals allowed with a winning road record. The Lightning outlasted the Maple Leafs when Vladislav Namestnikov scored 2:01 into overtime to lift Tampa Bay to a 5-4 victory Tuesday night. Nikita Kucherov scored his sixth goal in as many games. They matchup well with a Washington team that has dropped a pair in the last six, losing twice as chalk of -145. This is an evenly-matched game as the Lightning can match the great Washington defense with big Ben Bishop in net. The Lightning were the Eastern Conference champs last season, so grab the talented big dog and play Tampa Bay.
