This is a 10* play on OVER Calgary-Tampa Bay

The Flames and Lightning are the two highest scoring teams in the league. So you can't be surprised to see a high total for their game Tuesday. However, the normal parameters for setting an O/U line in NHL really hurt the oddsmakers in this one as I simply don't think a "normal" O/U line fits this particular matchup. When they met the first time this season, the Flames and Lightning combined for nine goals (Tampa Bay won in a shootout). Calling for a repeat of that would not be out of the ordinary as Calgary averages 3.7 goals per game while TB is at 3.9. At home, the Lightning's scoring average jumps to 4.1 goals per game. They have scored five goals in victories over both Pittsburgh and Florida the last two games. The Flames have given up 16 goals in four games since the All Star Break. The Over is 4-0 in February for Calgary and 13-2 their last 15 games. Bottom line is I expect a lot of scoring from the two most prolific teams in the league. Play OVER Calgary-Tampa Bay
