5* Iceman Game of the Week
(NHL) NY Rangers vs. Tampa Bay,
Money Line: -165.00 Tampa Bay (Home)
Result: Win
The Rangers looked good at home but they are a young team and I expect the Lightning to bounce back and control the upcoming game from the opening puck drop with a strong performance on their home ice. The Lightning offense should step up and pile on the goals with Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov, and the rest of the forward unit creating open shots with great puck movement in the offensive zone. The Lightning defense should to limit the Rangers' speed and cut off angles to the net on the rush, forcing difficult shots. I fully expect the Lightning to win Game 3 here on Sunday afternoon with a much-needed bounce-back performance on their home ice.
