ASA NHL top play on Tampa Bay Lighting -1.5 goals -115 vs Philadelphia – 7:07 pm ET - Tampa Bay had Andrei Vasilveskiy (2.28 GAA this season) in the starters crease at the morning skate and he gives the Lightning a big edge in goal over the Flyers. Ivan Fedotov is the starter for Philly here and he is 5-11-3 this season and Philadelphia has had some issues defensively which is part of the reason the slumping Flyers have lost 6 of 7 games. The Lightning have also produced 3 or more goals in 4 of their last six and put up 6 goals three times! Tampa Bay is 2nd in the NHL in Goals for per game at 3.53, Philadelphia is 24th at 2.75. Philadelphia is allowing 3.37 goals against, the Lightning allow 2.68. The key here is not just that the Lightning hold all the edges, including in current form as well as power play and penalty kill, Tampa Bay also has double revenge here! The only win that the Flyers have recently was last week's win over, you guessed it, the Lightning! Also, earlier this season the Bolts lost to Philly in the shootout here in Tampa. So, with revenge on their side and also having a stacked roster after being buyers at the trade deadline while the Flyers were sellers, Tampa is a -300 favorite on the money line logically! Where we get the value is the puck line! By laying 1.5 goals we only have to lay a -115 price on TB! 9 of the last 10 Lightning wins have been by 2 or more goals. The Flyers have 6 losses since early March and all were by at least 2 goals! This one will be too! Lay it with the Lightning goal line here at -1.5 goals for a Top Play Monday
