Tampa Bay Lightning vs Vegas Golden Knights prediction
The Tampa Bay Lightning are coming off a nice three-game win streak, and it puts them back in good light. The Tampa Bay Lightning are also now positive for bettors on the season with this recent winning stretch. However, it’s going to take more plus money to get me off Vegas at home. The Vegas Golden Knights are 21-10-2 at home this season, and the Lightning are 15-16-2 on the road. I’m going to side with Vegas at home and the cheap price.
