AAA's SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION (12-1, 92% ALL PICK L3 DAYS, +$9K ALL NHL YTD!)
(NHL) Tampa Bay vs. Toronto,
Money Line: -135.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Tampa Bay Lightning.

REASONING: The Lightning are dominating to open the year and we think they'll be looking to make a statement tonight against a potentially dangerous Maple Leafs team. Toronto definitely looks better on the offensive end to open the 2016/17 campaign, but it's been horrible defensively. The Bolts on the other hand are getting solid play on both ends of the ice, led by captain Steven Stamkos, who has three goals and two assists. Tampa most recently easily handled the Senators 4-1 on Saturday. Toronto on the other hand comes back home completely deflated after three straight road losses. Tampa will send Ben Bishop to the net, he's 2-1-0 with an .861 save percentage and a 3.68 GAA, while Toronto will counter with Frederik Andersen, who is 1-0-3 with an .879 save percentage and a 3.64 GAA.

The bottom line: Note that Tampa Bay is 29-15 (+8.6 units) in its last 44 when playing with two days rest, while Toronto is just 16-21 (-2.7 units) in its last 37 in the same position. Lay the price with confidence on the visitors, play on the LIGHTNING.
