Tampa Bay at Winnipeg

The Tampa Bay Lightning has been an elite team for a few years now. This team struggled out of the gate but over their last 23 games they have found the groove at 17-6. The defense has really clamped down as the Lightning have allowed 1 or fewer goals in over half of their last 13 games. Winnipeg has followed 3 straight losses with 3 straight wins, and while these teams are similar in records, they have gone in different directions. The Jets opened strong but have been nothing better than a .500 team over their last 12 games. The Lightning are winning here as they are 5-3 in their last 8 trips to Winnipeg. Make the play on Tampa Bay.
