Tampa Bay is without their best player in net, Vasilevskiy who is off on surgery. The Lightning return almost everyone on their team this season with thoughts of winning the cup again. Jonas Johansson will be in net for Tampa Bay and he will face a hungry Predators team with revenge on their minds. Tampa took both games last season so this will be Nashville's chance to get the win against an aging team with an unpredictable goaltending situation. Johansson has played 28 full games for the Lightning and is 11-13-4 and has allowed over 3.35 goals per game. The Predators goaltender Juuse Saros has a better goals against average of 2.58 so look for Nashville to get their first win tonight.

Best bet: take Nashville on the moneyline.
