AAA's 10* GAME OF THE MONTH (+$20,000 BIG TICKET 10* NHL RUN!)
(NHL) Pittsburgh vs. Tampa Bay,
Money Line: -140.00 Pittsburgh (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Lightning steam-rolled their way over the New York Islanders in five games in the last round, as they got some superb goaltending from Ben Bishop, as well as some production from all of its lines to cap off the commanding series victory. Tampa Bay took Game 1 of this series despite being outshot, but has since dropped back-to-back contests to the surging Penguins and all signs point to another letdown tonight. The Lightning are expected to once again be without the services of goaltender Bishop due to injury as well as regular season leading scorer Steven Stamkos (if they do somehow miraculously suit up to play, clearly neither will be at 100% capacity). The Pens depth will be just too much for the wounded Bolts to handle today and with Matt Murray posting a 2.00 GAA in the playoffs, all signs point to the visitors finding a way to get the job done at the end of the night. Note that Pittsburgh is already 4-2 (+1.4) units in the playoffs when leading in a series, while Tampa Bay is just 6-8 (-2.7 units) this season when revenging a home loss vs. an opponent. Play on PITTSBURGH.
