The Lightning is mired in a seven-game losing streak, but getting two to one odds at home is tempting. It is also laden with value as on the season, the Lightning is 4-5 when listed as a moneyline dog of 200-299. The Capitals are in a vulnerable situation that has seen them go just 16-37 when playing an opponent off a game where they allowed five or more goals. The Lightning hasn't struck often this season, but when they do, it is usually potent as indicated by their 4-5 mark mentioned above at long odds. I will back them to work their magic once again.
