The set-up: The Knights went into the All Star break as arguably the hottest team in the league, but they've predictably come out and stumbled in the second half. Las Vegas most recently fell 3-1 in Florida on Saturday, while Tampa comes in off a 3-2 road win over the Rangers. But as mentioned off the top, Vegas comes in struggling across the board after four straight losses. Note that the Knights have scored just six goals during their slide. The Lightning though are ranked as the No. 1 offense in the NHL with an average of 3.87 GPG. The Bolts aren't too shabby defensively either, allowing 2.81.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well but Tampa is 6-1 in its last seven vs. the Pacific, while Las Vegas is 1-5 in its last six vs. teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. This one has blowout written all over it, lay the price.
