The Tampa Bay Lightning's offense exploded into the season on their way to a 6-1 record. They were scoring in seamless fashion during the opening games, producing an unsustainable 5.4 goals per contest. The offense has since fizzled out, and the Lightning have gone from 5.4 goals a game to 1.8 in their last five. Not only have the goals disappeared, but so have the wins as Tampa Bay enters on a five-game losing streak. Washington through 11 games was having trouble finding the net, and subsequently wins. They have found their way offensively with two straight wins, and 11 goals in their last two games. These teams are heading in opposite directions, presenting a great opportunity on the dog in this one. Play on Washington.
