Trends
Vegas is 4-1 in their last 5 games against the East and 9-4 in their last 13 games. The under is 12-3-1 in Vegas’ last 16 road games. Tampa Bay is 1-5 in their last 6 games and 81-34 in their last 115 Thursday games. The over is 4-1 in Tampa Bay’s last 5 home games. The over is 3-1-1 in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.
Pick
Tampa Bay was finally able to snap their losing streak in their last game with a win over Philadelphia, but they have lost five of their last six games. Vegas has won three of their last four games, with all four games being decided by one goal. Tampa Bay has not been good in the defensive end of the ice, allowing at least four goals in four straight games. I like Vegas on the road in this game.
