The Coach's NHL Stanley Cup Finals SURE SHOT
(NHL) Tampa Bay vs. Chicago,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -210.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Loss
The Lightning face a must win situation here in Chicago tonight, looking to force a Game 7. They've been in this situation before in these playoffs, and I wouldn't write them off just yet. All five games in this series have been close, and it would be only fitting if this series went to seven games.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Goaltending - Ben Bishop made a surprise return in Game 5, stopping 27-of-29 shots. He's been at least as good as Corey Crawford in this series, and it would be no surprise to see him come up with a big game here in Game 6.

2. Tyler Johnson - The Lightning's second line center leads all scorers with 23 points this post-season, and the line of Johnson, Kucherov and Palat has been dominant through the first three rounds.

3. X-Factor - Tampa has won eight of it's last 12 meetings with Chicago, and the Blackhawks have seen eight of their last 12 games decided by just one goal.

Selection: This is a play on the Tampa Lightning +1.5 (5*)
