NHL (11/16/07)
Tampa Bay @ Washington
Advice: TB -1.5
Here’s why:
Tampa Bay has the W in 6 out of the last 8 meetings against Washington at home. Washington’s goals per game average this year is 2.3 - with a 1.6 goals per game average over the last 5. In comparison, TB is 7-2 at home and putting up 4.1 goals a game while allowing only 2.2.
The Lightning are hot right now outscoring their opponents 19-5 over their last 4 contests. Washington is a lowly 15-43 going back over a season vs. good PP teams (TB is a GREAT PP team, converting 22%).
Side Notes:
- These 2 met last week with TB winning 5-2
- Capitals are 4-7 on the road this year
