  • Tampa Bay Lightning ML (4 Units)

The Lightning have won two straight games, while the Predators have won two of their last three games. Tampa Bay has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively and scored six goals in their last two games. They haven’t been as good on special teams, converting 16 percent of their power play opportunities. The Predators are sixth in the league in penalty kills, but they’re not playing well defensively, giving up 13 goals in their last four home games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Lightning.

They’ve also struggled on special teams, converting less than 10 percent of their power play opportunities.
