Result: Win
The Islanders frustrated the Lightning in winning Game 1 of this series, 2-1.
But now there's heavy juice on Over 5 for this Game 2. The oddsmaker and marketplace, which is sharp when it comes to hockey, obviously believes that the scoring will double in this Game 2. I don't disagree.
Tampa Bay was the No. 8 scoring team in the NHL during the season averaging 3.2 goals despite missing key scorers and the Lightning will be making adjustments following their Game 1 upset loss. The Lightning is a much more dangerous offensive team with Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos healthy.
The Islanders are extremely effective at picking their spots and counter attacking. They have scored 3 or more goals in nine of their 13 playoff games. New York is averaging 4.2 goals during its past four games.
