Defensive numbers and metrics have improved almost across the board for St. Louis since the hire of Jim Montgomery in later November; the past few weeks, the Blues rank high in most defensive categories. The offense, however, is struggling, with just five goals the last three games...all "under" results. Scoring is not a problem for Tampa Bay, which has netted at least five in each of its last three games, though we suspect it will be tougher going tonight against Jordan Binnington. Note Andrei Vasilevskiy enjoying a very good December in goal (2.01 GAA, .919 saves) for the Lightning. Play Blues-Lightning "Under"
