Preview

The Tampa Bay Lightning continue on the road and will visit the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.  This is the second time these teams face off this season, Tampa Bay dominated the Flames in the last one and beat them 4-1 at home.

TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

The Lightning have won 3 of their last 5 games and are second in the Atlantic. Tampa Bay is 18-10 on the road and have a 37-13-6 record overall.

Steven Stamkos leads the Lightning with 27 goals and has 63 points. Brayden Point has six goals and six assists over the last 10 games for Tampa Bay.

In their last 10 games the Lightning are 7-3, averaging 3.9 goals, 6.4 assists, 4.6 penalties and 11.9 penalty minutes while allowing 2.9 goals per game with a .902 save percentage.

CALGARY FLAMES

The Flames are 16-10 at home so far this season and have a 34-15-7 record ranking first in the Pacific division. Calgary averages 9.6 penalty minutes per game, the seventh-most in the NHL. Milan Lucic leads the team serving 64 total minutes.

Lindholm leads the Flames with 29 goals and has 60 points. Matthew Tkachuk has five goals and nine assists over the last 10 games for Calgary.

In their last 10 games the Flames are 7-3, averaging 3.9 goals, 6.9 assists, five penalties and 13 penalty minutes while giving up 2.8 goals per game with a .905 save percentage.

BETTING TRENDS

Tampa Bay are 7-2 SU in their last 9 games.

Tampa Bay are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games against Calgary.

Calgary are 14-3 SU in their last 17 games.

Calgary are 12-2 SU in their last 14 games at home.

Prediction

These are two of the best teams in the league, the Flames are winning the 60% of the time at home and Lightning the 64% on the road. Although Tampa Bay already beat Calgary earlier this season this game can be much closer, it can even go to overtime. I won't pick a side on this one so I think the play is the over as both offenses have been great, scoring 3.9 goals in their last 10 games.

PICK: Over 6 (-110)
