This is an 8* BLOCKBUSTER on the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Ben Bishop twisted his knee half way through the first period of Game 1 and backup Andrei Vasilevskiy came in to stop 25 of the 26 shots he faced in the Lightning's eventual 3-1 victory. Whether Bishop comes back or Vasilevskiy is pressed into the start, we love Tampa Bay to duplicate its masterful Game 1 performance and to head home with a 2-0 lead. The Lightning's defense was the difference maker once again, pushing the Penguin's opportunistic offense to the perimeter and keeping Sidney Crosby and company from generating pressure in front of the net. Tampa did the same thing to John Tavares and the Islanders in the second round. Also note, Vasilevskiy would fill in for an injurd Bishop in Game 2 of the 2015 Stanley Cup Finals and became the first netminder to earn a win in relief during a Cup Final in more than 80 years (he also started Game 4 of the series and played extremely well in the 2-1 loss). Note that the Lightning are 15-8 (+3 units) this season when playing with two days rest, while the Penguins are just 12-13 (-4.6 units) in the same position. Tampa Bay has been underestimated throughout the playoffs because of the absence of leading scorer Steven Stamkos, but has gotten significant production from its younger players and all signs point to another upset here. Play on the LIGHTNING.
