NHL GAME OF THE WEEK
(NHL) Dallas vs. Tampa Bay, 09/21/2020 8:00 PM, Score: 2 - 3
Money Line: -150.00 Tampa Bay (Home)
Result: Win
I'm playing on TAMPA. I didn't get involved in the opener as I wanted to see how it played out, before potentially getting involved in Game 2. I knew that I liked Tampa as a team, but thought that the extra rest could benefit Dallas. With the Lightning down a game and both teams now working on equal rest, I'm now jumping in to back them. The Lightning have been here before, they're now 0-3 in the opening game of the Stanley Cup Finals. There will be no panic. The Lightning have only lost two other games in recent weeks. They responded to both by winning their very next game. They were stronger than the Stars this season and they dominated play (22 shots!) in the third period in Game 1. I'm not ready to count them out yet. Expect the series to be tied 1-1.
