ASA NHL TOP PLAY 10* ON UNDER: Tampa Bay Lightning versus Dallas Stars, Monday at 8:10 PM ET

It would be nice to get a 5.5 rather than a 5 but keep in mind the under 5 is available at plus money here and that has us going to our highest level with this one. The fact is that only 5 of Tampa Bay's 20 games in the post-season have totaled more than 5 goals. Saturday's Game 1 of these Stanley Cup Finals was actually quite fortunate to even get to 5 goals as the Stars scored very late in the 2nd period. The game could have easily been just 2-1 going to the 3rd. The only thing that pushed the total to a 5 was an empty net goal and we also feel strongly that Lightning netminder Vasilevskiy will respond off the loss with a great game here! Keep in mind Lightning games have not seen many power plays ever since game two of the Islanders series. Also, the Stars have allowed an average of only 1.5 goals per game their last 6 games. The Stars have won 6 of their last 7 games and they are using defense and strong goaltending from Khudobin to do it! Look for TB to respond off a loss but Dallas is not going to allow much and this one should turn into a real grinder. Per our computer math model, it looks like goals will absolutely be at a premium in this high-stakes game two setting. Bet the UNDER in Tampa Bay in NHL evening action Monday
