Take Lightning over Wild
(NHL) Tampa Bay vs. Minnesota,
Money Line: -126.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Win
We like the Lightning here as they are the better team and this line has steadily moved toward them overnight. Tampa comes off a 4-2 loss vs Winnipeg so they will be motivated coming in here and Minnesota is struggling losing three straight games, which is kind of scary to go against them but the difference here is Tampa is just the better team and with them coming off a loss as well, we think they get the job done here Thursday night. The Lightning are significantly better on the power play which we think makes a huge difference here, and we like Tampa here on Thursday evening. Andrei Vasilevskiy should also be starting in net for Tampa which gives them the clear advantage.
