The Lightning looks to push their winning streak to 3 games by punishing Buffalo tonight at HSBC Arena.
Sporting a 21-17-3 overall record and an 8-4-2 mark within the division, the Lightning aim to knock the Sabres (6-5-1 in the division) for a loss.
The Sabres are favored, opening as 165 chalk, with an opening total of 6. They are 26-12-2 this season and 15-24-1 OU. The Lightning are 21-17-3 and are 19-20-2 OU.
John Tortorella's troops went to N.Y. Rangers last game and came away with a 1-0 win, a game that went under 6. Oddsmakers had them as 160 underdogs in that one.
Buffalo, on the other hand, are home to shake off a loss last time out against Florida. They were 210 favorites and ended up on the wrong end of a 2-1 score, in a game that went under the closing total.
Some trends to consider:
Tampa Bay is 4-8-2 OU in its last 14 games against Buffalo
Tampa Bay is 2-3-1 OU in its last 6 games away against Buffalo
Tampa Bay is 2-3-1 OU in its last 6 away
Tampa Bay is 2-4-0 OU in its last 6 games
