Winnipeg heads out on the road winning three of the last five and going 6-6 the last 12. They won three times as a dog of +175, +120 and +130. What they are doing is focusing on defense, controlling the tempo, especially on the road. Tampa Bay is back to battling the offensive problems they've had much of this season, losing four of five. All four losses were as chalk. Tampa Bay is #15 in goals scored, #18 on the power play. Tampa Bay fell 4-2 to San Jose on Tuesday at home as goalie Ben Bishop has a 3.33 goals-against average while losing three of four. Tampa Bay is on a one for fourteen run on the power play. The Lightning have also dropped three straight 2-1 decisions at home to the Jets. Take Winnipeg.
