Play: Tampa Bay Lightning
Rating: 8/10*

The Tampa Bay Lightning are coming off a 6-4 loss to Winnipeg, but I think we'll see a lower scoring affair when they host the Nashville Predators Thursday night. Lightning coach Jon Cooper was not happy with the defending and told reporters. "We thought about one net only and once you do that, that's it. Next thing you know it's 4-1, and that's a long way to come back." I expect the Lightning to put defense first in this game. The Preds are coming off a 2-1 OT loss to Montreal, and they've scored just a total of nine goals during a 1-2-2 stretch. Under is 3-0-2 in Predators last five overall. The Lightning have won seven of the last eight games in this series, and I think they'll edge this one.
