This is an 8* play on the OVER between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Winnipeg Jets.

The visitors are banged up but continue to get the job done. The home side is coming off a 3-1 win over the punchless Jets on Tuesday, a victory which snapped a three-game slide and I think it team carries that momentum over here. When the smoke clears at the end of this one, I look for this total to eclipse the number. The Lightning managed a 2-1 OT win at Calgary on Tuesday to improve to 2-1-0 on its current five game trip. The last time these teams got together, the Lightning would win 4-2 at Winnipeg back on January 7th. But Winnipeg comes in with momentum, note that it's seen the total go OVER the number in six of its last ten after playing to three consecutive UNDERS. And note that Tampa has seen the total go OVER the number in 20 of its last 30 non-conference contests. The situation, the numbers and the trends all point to the OVER as the sharp move in this one.
