Tampa Bay Lightning are home favorites against Carolina Hurricanes. The Lightning have won five of their last six games. Carolina have lost three of last four games, but they have also won three times in a row.

Neither the Hurricanes nor the Lightning's projected starting goalie has played well through the first month. The game is a betting favourite for the Under.

Neither the Hurricanes nor the Lightning are leading their respective divisions 10 games into the season. Both teams have a goal differential closer to zero than they're used to. Carolina is on the back-to-back and it's unsure who will start in net. Antti Raanta could get the nod. Tampa has won three straight and five of its last six games. Victor Hedman is day- to-day. The Bolts have home-ice advantage. They won two overtime games last season, including one in which they were a favorite. The game is a coin flip. I don't have any plays on either side.

The Hurricanes and Lightning are playing each other tonight. The total is 6.5. Both teams are 8-9 on the season. Neither team allows many shots on net. Carolina gives up few high- and medium-danger chances, while the Bolts block a lot of shots. The Under is 17-5-1 over the last 23 meetings.

The Under is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings in Tampa Bay.
