The Lightning have lost 3 of their last 5 games and are 19-12 on the road so far this season with a 38-15-6 record overall ranking second in the Atlantic. Tampa Bay averages 10.6 penalty minutes per game, the fourth-most in the NHL. Patrick Maroon leads the team serving 79 total minutes.
Steven Stamkos leads the Lightning with 63 points, scoring 27 goals and adding 36 assists. Victor Hedman has four goals and four assists over the last 10 games for Tampa Bay.
In their last 10 games the Lightning are 6-4, averaging 3.1 goals, 5.2 assists, 5.2 penalties and 12.8 penalty minutes while allowing 2.8 goals per game with a .913 save percentage.
SEATTLE KRAKEN

The Oilers are 2-8, averaging 2.5 goals, 4.2 assists, 3.9 penalties and 8.3 penalty minutes while giving up 3.5 goals per game with an .888 save percentage.
BETTING TRENDS
Tampa Bay are 8-4 SU in their last 12 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Tampa Bay's last 6 games.
Seattle are 2-11 SU in their last 13 games.
The total has gone OVER in 6 of Seattle's last 7 games at home.
Prediction
The Kraken are one of the worst teams in the league and have lost 11 of their last 13 games are winning only the 33% at home this season. The Lightning are clearly a better team but they have struggled to cover the spread on the road lately as they're 1-5 ATS last 6 games away from home. I can't trust the Lightning to cover on the road so I think the play is the under.
PICK: Under 6 (-110)
