T.M. Selection: Rangers/Lightning UNDER.

I am on the under in the New York Rangers vs Tampa Bay Lightning game on Sunday. The Lightning are down 2-0 in this series but after a very high scoring affair in game 1, they really calmed down in the 2nd game with that game going under. The Rangers won the most recent game 3-2 but they were up 3-1 and that 2nd goal for the Lightning was a late goal scored with the goalie pulled. I think this is going to be another low scoring affair like the previous game and I expect to see a great defensive effort from both teams here. The Rangers have already proved to the Lightning that goals are going to be tough to come by between their great defensive effort and their great goaltending. I think the Lightning are going to continue playing with their great defensive effort since any goals allowed in this game could end up being the game winner and neither team can really afford to be giving up tons of goals. The Rangers have been scoring a lot lately too but those games were on home ice and I expect their offense to not be as strong in this road game. I also think Vasilevskiy is going to play better on home ice here and I expect him to shut the door on the Rangers in this game. The Lightning know they aren't going to win this game with a strong offensive effort due to that Rangers defense and Shesterkin on the other side so they need to find another way to defend their leads and I expect this to be a low scoring game. I like the under here.

T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Lightning.
