Schule's NHL BEAST of the EAST - *EARLY START*
(NHL) Tampa Bay vs. Florida, 04/04/2015 3:00 PM, Score: 4 - 0
Money Line: -102.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Tampa Lightning.

The Florida Panthers have had a good run in the second half of the season, but their hopes of making the playoffs are almost dead. They host state rivals Tampa tonight, and the Lightning have owned this series in recent seasons. Tampa is 13-2-1 in the last 16 meetings in this series, and they can secure home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs with a win tonight. Steven Stamkos hasn't scored in seven games, but he's tallied 16 goals and nine assists in his last 16 versus Florida. With the realization that they will likely miss the playoffs for the 13th time in 14 seasons, I wouldn't be surprised to see Florida suffer a let down here against a Tampa team that is still fighting for first in the Atlantic Division. The price is right to back the visitors.

Take TB.
