Calgary +132 over Tampa Bay
9:00 PM ET. OT included. The Lightning are still one of the NHL’s marquee teams, and the market rarely discounts their talent or their prices. Tampa Bay enters this game after a disappointing 2-1 loss in Edmonton, and while some might view that as a spot for a "bounce-back" effort, the issues in that game were not random. The Lightning were exposed defensively, allowing four breakaways in the first period alone, a stat that Tampa coach Jon Cooper called “unacceptable.” It doesn’t matter who your goalie is, he can't bail out a team hemorrhaging odd-man rushes and high-danger chances.
The Flames, meanwhile, return to the Saddledome on a high note after a resilient 4-3 comeback win over Nashville. Calgary snapped an eight-game road losing streak in that game and now returns to a building where they’ve been dominant, going 10-3-1 this season, and where they’ve also earned points in seven straight home games (6-0-1). Calgary has quietly been one of the league’s best home teams, and its momentum from a big road win makes an inflated price one we are going to snap up with ease.
