The raise in the Preds is tempting as we’ve seen Tampa Bay drop one against Detroit, making even the best of them vulnerable at times . However, I think the Bolts are a little salty after that Detroit loss and are trying to clear some frustration here. It was bad enough that Nashville was out, but against a checked Lightning team? No bueno. Give me the lightning bolt here on the puck line in what I see as a 5-2 win at Tampa Bay.
