Watching as much hockey as I do and constantly scrolling my phone for updated betting odds, I find myself personifying the NHL teams. What are Team X's flaws? Under duress, will Team Y reward my faith in them? Why does Team Z frequently punish my self-esteem? After half a season, the Carolina Hurricanes, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Dallas Stars have…

Tampa Bay Lightning has been a much more successful team at home than on the road so playing three games in four days on the road has been a bit challenging. A win would give the Lightning four out of six possible points, making this trip a good one. Winnipeg is about to get some reinforcements as the Jets try to close the gap on Dallas in the…

By Chris Johnston NorthStar Bets Fri., Jan. 6, 20234 min. read No one is explicitly using the'T' word. You know, the one that rhymes with "sank." But it may not be a complete coincidence that three teams at the bottom of the NHL standings are currently pacing towards some of the lowest point totals we've seen recorded in the last two decades. Not…

An Atlantic division showdown is set for Tuesday night when the Tampa Bay Lightning (41 points) visit the Toronto Maple Leafs (44 points). Tampa Bay is currently third in the division, with Toronto second, and both teams are trailing the Boston Bruins for the top spot in the Atlantic.

In an 82-game season, finding different sources of motivation are critical. For the Boston Bruins, it's the desire for an easier first-round playoff opponent. Slip into second in the Atlantic Division and Boston will face the Toronto Maple Leafs or Tampa Bay Lightning. Either would be a miserable first-round opponent. For the New Jersey Devils,…

The Seattle Kraken are hoping they can sustain their form after a win over the weekend. That's also the mission of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who have been on of the hottest teams in the NHL lately.

This Blackhawks season is going to test fans. It's going to test some players. It's likely to test Jonathan Toews' and Patrick Kane's loyalty. It's unlikely to test Luke Richardson. Richardson had a pretty good idea of what he was signing up for when he became the Blackhawks' coach. But even with an understanding that this team wasn't built to win…

The Chicago Blackhawks have dropped seven games in a row and picked up just one point in those contests as they have been outscored 35-14. Chicago led in only one of those contests. Edmonton is just 3-3 during that same stretch and goals have been hard to come by with 15 in those six games. Facing a team that is allowing 5.2 goals per game during…

We've got the best goalie matchup of the entire NHL postseason as the Tampa Bay Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy squares off against Igor Shesterkin of the New York Rangers. While we like the Rags to squeeze a win, the Under is the most appealing bet. We might not see 14 total goals in Madison Square Garden tonight but the Eastern Conference Finals…
