Lightning vs Blues Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money Line PickBest Bet
TB Lightning Win(-185)

The Tampa Bay Lightning are on absolute tear right now. The Bolts enter Friday’s matchup against the Blues riding an 11-game win streak, with 7 of those wins coming on the road. Tampa Bay also beat St. Louis during this streak back on December 22 by a score of 4-1. Tampa Bay’s current streak has propelled it to the top of the Atlantic division with 64 points, and it hasn’t shown many signs of slowing down. The offense is rolling, and the Lightning have held their opponents to just 6 total goals over their last 4 games.

The Blues have struggled to score goals on a consistent basis all season long. In fact, their 2.49 goals per game rank dead last in the league. St. Louis’ offensive woes got even worse on Thursday when it was announced that Robert Thomas was placed on IR with a lower-body injury. Thomas leads the Blues in points (34) and is tied for the team lead in goals (11). Needless to say, his absence will be tough for the Blues to overcome — especially against a red-hot team like the Lightning. Take confidence backing the Lightning to find the win column.
