T.M. Selection: Tampa Bay Lightning -1.5.

I like the Tampa Bay Lightning puckline against the Seattle Kraken in this game on Wednesday. The Lightning have not looked good in their games lately losing 3 games in a row but they just won their most recent game 2-1 over the Canucks and I think they can get back on a run here now that they have broken out of their funk. The Lightning are still 3rd place in the East and continue to be 1 of the best teams in the league. Their team is filled with skilled players and I think it is only a matter of time until they start winning games in bunches again. The Kraken have been terrible all year too and this is the perfect team for the Lightning to feed on and build up some more momentum as they try to put together a run again. The Kraken have been the worst team in the West all year and they are still holding up their last place spot. They just won their most recent game over the Canadiens but they had to go to a shootout just to win the game and they even had a 3-1 lead going into the 3rd period where they gave up 2 goals and let the Canadiens, who are the worst team in the league and the only team that hasn't reached 40 points yet, back in the game. The Kraken had actually lost 4 games in a row right before that win and they had only won 1/12 games before their win in Montreal. I think the Lightning are going to get back on track here with a win and I expect them to blow the Kraken out too. I like the Lightning on the puckline to win this game by 2+ goals.

T.M. Prediction: 4-0 Lightning.
