AAA's EAST-COAST EXPRESS (UNLOAD WITH CONFIDENCE!)
(NHL) Tampa Bay vs. Pittsburgh,
Money Line: -173.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* EAST-COAST EXPRESS on the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Pittsburgh Penguins were the hottest team down the stretch, but lost all three regular season contests to the Lightning. It's payback time tonight as we look for the home side to find a way to get the job done once the final horn blares. Both teams are very evenly matched, getting big production through all four lines and solid goaltending. Home ice advantage is going to be crucial this evening in our opinion though, note that the Lightning are just 12-22 their last 34 road games following a win by two goals or more and just 16-26 their last 42 road games after scoring four goals or more in their previous outings. In what should prove to be a long and entertaining series, we look for the home side to protect home ice and take Game 1, play on PITTSBURGH.
