Nashville Predators
The Predators will try to build on a three game win streak with a victory against the Bolts in Tampa. Even more impressive is two of the Preds wins have come on the road, including a big win over the red hot New Jersey Devils.
Two of the Preds recent wins came in overtime as the win streak started with a 2-1 OT win over the Anaheim Ducks at home before beating the Devils 4-3 in New Jersey.
Those who bet on the Predators in their last two games came out with two tasty plus money winners. The Preds were +174 underdogs to the Devils and +146 to the Islanders in the two wins to continue to build their winning streak.
Tampa Bay Lightning
Tampa looks to bounce back after being shocked by the Detroit Red Wings in a 4-2 loss earlier this week. The Bolts lost as heavy -247 favorites, losing 4-2 to the Wings on home ice.
Home ice has been kind to the Lightning otherwise as the Bolts hold a 8-4-1 record at Amalie Arena this season. That home record increases the likelihood of a Tampa win over the Predators, who have a losing record on the road of 5-6.
Familiar faces are leading the Bolts offense once again. Steven Stamkos has 14 goals and 16 assists for the Lightning to date this season. His longtime goalscoring partner Nikita Kucherov has been red hot of late with four goals and 10 assists over the last ten games.
