(NHL) NY Islanders vs. Tampa Bay,
Money Line: -180.00 Tampa Bay (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: Tampa's won two of three and the Isles have dropped two of three. I think the home side is worth the price of admission here as I expect a decisive victory from start to finish. Most recently the Isles fell 3-1 at Dallas on Saturday. Overall the Isles average 2.82 GPG and they concede 2.43.

The pick: The Lightning destroyed the Wild 7-1 on Saturday and I look for the surging home side to carry that momentum over here. Overall the Bolts lead the league in scoring with 3.74 GPG on average, while allowing 3.22. The Isles are struggling on the road and I think that trend continues here vs. this red hot home side. Lay the price with confidence.
