The Lightning opened as -140 road favorites to skate to victory Thursday against the Thrashers.
Both teams have a chance to improve their showing within the Southeast division. Atlanta is 2-4-0 (2-1-0 in the division), while the Lightning sit at 3-2-2 (2-1-1 in the division).
Oddsmakers opened the total at 6.5 goals.
John Tortorella's team hopes to rebound from a 3-2 loss at the hands of the Capitals. They were 190 favorites in a game that went under the total.
Atlanta looks to get its offence in gear today, after a lame display last game resulted in a 5-1 loss to the Rangers. The Thrashers were underdogs in that game, which went under the closing total.
Some trends to consider:
Tampa Bay is 1-5-0 OU in its last 6 away
Tampa Bay is 1-5-0 OU in its last 6 games
Tampa Bay is 1-4-1 OU in its last 6 games against Atlanta
Tampa Bay is 1-3-1 OU in its last 5 games away against Atlanta
Atlanta is 4-9-1 OU in its last 14 games
Atlanta is 6-17-3 SU in its last 26 games after scoring 1 to 2 goals
Atlanta is 6-16-4 OU in its last 26 at home
Atlanta is 1-3-1 OU in its last 5 games at home against Tampa Bay
