This is a 10* TOTAL BLOWOUT on the OVER Lightning/Islandres.

I had a play on the Lightning in Game 1 and I took the UNDER in Game 2.

Game 3 I'm expecting another wide open affair here as I expect the Isles to get out of their comfort zone and to push the pace so as to try to avoid the dreaded 0-3 hole.

Tampa won 8-2 in Game 1 and the Isles looked like they had a shot in Game 2 after scoring a goal in the first minute.

But then each team clamped down defensively and it wasn't until the final eight seconds of regulation that Tampa finally netted the winner, prevailing 2-1.

I expect another quick start from the Isles here, but this time I believe they keep the foot on the gas. That's going to leave them open on the back end at times for the opportunistic Lightning, which all points to a wide-open and faster-paced affair.

A faster paced game = more shots and more shots = more goals.

In my opinion, Game 3 screams OVER!

Good luck, NP
