T.M. Selection: Lightning/Rangers OVER.

I am on the over in the Tampa Bay Lightning vs New York Rangers game on Wednesday. The Lightning haven't been involved in many high scoring affairs lately with a pretty low scoring series against the Panthers but I think this game is going to go against that narrative as of late. The Rangers have looked a lot better in their home games this year and I think they are going to put up a good effort in this game since they have looked good lately. They have been scoring a lot more in their home games in this postseason and I think their offense will be more active in this game. They have gone to 7 games in both series they have played in though and I think fatigue will be catching up to them here too. I think that will affect their defensive effort more and Shesterkin, who has been standing on his head for so long now, is not going to hold up forever when he has already had a few bad games in this postseason. I think the Lightning offense is going to get to him here for some goals and I expect them to be well rested for this game and come out with a ton of energy. I think both teams will get on the board for some goals here but I also think that the Lightning are going to use this game to make a statement in New York and I expect them to dominate with a great offensive effort all night. I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Lightning.
