The set-up: I had a play on the Islanders on the "puck-line" in Game 1, and while we didn't even end up needing the extra goal-and-a-half in their 2-1 win, I think that the now revenge-minded Lightning are well worth the price of admission in Game 2. The Isles have been playing at an extremely high-level and a drop off is imminent here in my opinion.

The pick: The bottom line is though, Tampa had its chances in Game 1. It has to be feeling confident here though as it's gone 7-2 in its last nine in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent in which it was held to one or no goals in. I'm laying the price and expecting a winner of the "rocking chair variety."

This is an 8* DESTRUCTION on the Lightning.
