NBCSN Blowout Rout - Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NHL Rotation #11 Thursday 8* Tampa Bay Lightning Money Line (-) vs New York Islanders @ 8:10 ET - The Lightning are 4-0 in this post-season when coming off a loss. I am not wild about laying a big price but this money line is in the -160 range and is still well worth the investment as far as I am concerned. Expecting a tight game in Game 5 Tuesday I went with the puck line on the Islanders. Even though New York prevailed and won the game in double-OT, it was a game that could have gone either way and I was happier to relax having the +1.5 goals on my side then to have to sweat out a double-OT winner. Similarly, in this case I though about laying the -1.5 goals with the Lightning and getting plus money as I do expect a big win. However, if Tampa Bay is up by 2 goals late and then the Islanders pull their goalie that is one of those situations which, as you know, can go either way. So here we are with the money line and I am expecting the Bolts to play a much different style in Game 6 and prove to be too much for the Isles. Tampa Bay was back on their heels a bit in Game 5 and allowed the Islanders to dictate the pace and flow of the game. Look for the Lightning to be much more aggressive in Game 6 after essentially playing a "safe game" which played into the hands of New York Tuesday. I also am expecting Brayden Point to return for the Lightning tonight. I really believe him not playing in Game 5 was precautionary (and for rest reasons) more than anything else. The Bolts only losses in this series have been when he hasn't played. However, even if Point does not play I expect the rest of the Lightning to step up big-time off the loss here and look for Andrei Vasilevskiy to continue to be stellar between the pipes as well. The end result? This series ends tonight! 8* TAMPA BAY Money Line
