Non-Conf NHL Game of the Month
(NHL) Blackhawks (CHI) vs. Lightning (TB),
Point Spread: -1.50 | -130.00 Lightning (TB) (Home)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: TAMPA BAY - Spread

I like the Tampa Bay Lightning to win this game in rout fashion against the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday, January 28th. Coming off a road shutout loss to the Red Wings, Tampa is sure to respond at home where their most recent game was a 5-1 win over those same Red Wings. The Lightning are a different team when on home ice and have gone 15-6-1 there this season. Chicago is a horrible 5-15-3 on the road this season! The Blackhawks have lost 13 of 16 games and are in the wrong place at the wrong time as the Bolts are sure to respond on home ice after a rare shutout loss. Tampa Bay has won 8 of last 10 on home ice and the average margin of victory in the 8 victories was 3 goals! The Lightning roll again here and should win this by at least a 2 goal margin as they bounce back off a shutout defeat and add to the road misery of the Blackhawks.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Tampa Bay.

Line: -1.5, -125

Line Parameter: play until -1.5, -155...
