Carolina Hurricanes - Tampa Bay Lightning - NHL

Wager: $200. We turn our focus to the NHL: Carolina Hurricanes and Tampa Bay Lightning will meet face to face tonight:  The game will start at 5 p.m. ET, at the PNC Arena, and will be aired on SUN, FS-CR, and NHL.TV. Carolina lost 3 straight and 4 of their last 6, including a 4-2 loss to the New York Rangers on Saturday. The Hurricanes have scored 2 goals or fewer in 6 of their last seven games (2-4-1).  After this game at home, they will go on a 3-game road trip, thus, it is important for them to win tonight, and I believe they will do it.  They are 13th in "Goals Against" and still 1st in "Penalty Kill %". Tampa Bay Lightning, ended a 4-game losing streak with a 2-1 shootout win against the Capitals on Sat.; The 4-game slide was the first for Tampa Bay since 2012-13. Tampa are 22nd in "Goals Against" and 22nd in "Penalty Kill %". Carolina's defensive is so good: they allowed over 3+ goals only 1 time in the last 10 games: The official, basic Las Vegas game line for O/U is (5.0 Goals), pointing to a low scoring game. With that said, I pick the "Alternative Total 2-Way" option @ BET365:  Under 6.5 Goals  1.32 (-310). Click here to learn the difference between the  Decimal  & American odds systems.
