THE INSIDERS ROOM'S 10* (Isles/Bolts!) GAME 1 BLOWOUT (+500 ALL PREMIUMS!)
(NHL) NY Islanders vs. Tampa Bay, 09/07/2020 8:00 PM, Score: 2 - 8
Money Line: -151.00 Tampa Bay (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* GAME 1 BLOWOUT on the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Islanders blew a 3-1 lead over Philly, but managed to hold on and win Game 7. Thomas Greiss and Semyon Varlamov have been fantastic for the Isles, but I think New York comes out with "heavy legs."

Tampa lost its first game vs. the Bruins in the last round, but it then won the next four and with a few days off to rest and prepare, I love the Bolts to come out fast in Game 1 and then never look back.

Andrei Vasilevskiy is likely better than both Islanders goaltenders as well, as he enters with a 10-3, 1.91 GAA in the playoff so far.

Finally note that the Lightning are 5-1 in their last six as a playoff favorite, while the Isles are just 4-12 in their last 16 as an underdog.

This line could/should be a lot larger, so the value swings to the under-valued home favorite!

Good luck, NP
