The set-up: Columbus enters off a poor 4-1 loss in Detroit on Monday and I have a hard time seeing it keeping up with the defending champs in this difficult road venue. The Jackets have lost four straight, allowing three or more goals over that span.

The pick: Tampa's defense has been a bit shaky of late, but after two straight losses, clearly the Lighthing will come in focussed on the task at hand this evening. The Bolts are 7-1 in their last eight at home and I think they can not only win this game, but win by a sizeable margine. Consider Tampa on the puckline in this matchup.

This is a 1* FREE PLAY on the Lightning on the puckline.
