T.M. Selection: Lightning/Blues UNDER.

I am on the under in the Tampa Bay Lightning vs St. Louis Blues game on Tuesday. The Lightning have had some good goaltending in their games lately. They just lost 4-2 to the Wild where Vasilevskiy gave up 3 goals but he has been really good in their other games lately, recording B2B shutouts in the 2 games previous to that loss. Their scoring has started to decrease a little though, in their previous 3 games they have scored 4 goals, 3 goals, and now 2 goals in their most recent game. The Blues have been the complete opposite lately, they have seen 5+ goals in 14 games in a row but I think that they are due for a low scoring game here. They didn't really face any strong teams during that time though, so the scores were a little higher than if they were playing some top hockey teams. The Lightning are a very good team and they have a great goalie too, they aren't going to let the Blues skate all over them and score relentlessly. The Blues also have a good defense though, and I think that the Lightning are going to struggle to score here. With 2 good teams doesn't just come good offense, there is also good defense and good goalkeeping so I expect this game to be more like a chess match where each team is just waiting for their moment to pounce and score what might be the winning goal. I like this game to stay under the posted total.

T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Blues.
