This is an 8* TOP-SHELF DESTROYER on the Lightning.

Florida won the first game of this series by a score of 3-2. Tampa needed a late power play goal to get it within one goal, and Florida wasn't able to put in the empty-netter with only a minute remaining.

Suffice it to say, I'm expecting another "nail-biter" here as well. Tampa's responded well in this spot for bettors as well by going 7-3 in its last ten in trying to avenge a road loss vs. an opponent.

I think Florida does enjoy a home ice advantage, but this line is now way out of whack, with the majority of the general betting public quick to back the home side and lay the price.

But in a game that I see being decided late, or even in extra time, I'm laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance.

The play is TAMPA on the PUCKLINE option.

Good luck, NP
