I completely agree with everything Severance said about this game. The Lightning should have more than enough motivation after blowing a 3-0 lead in St. Louis their last game. Rarely do you see the interconference home and home but that’s what we have with these teams here, and the Lightning will want revenge. Brian Elliott was also in the net for the Lightning last game and they still barely lost. The Blues are worse on the road at 5-4-2, I like the Lightning at home.
Sometimes, teams have to search for motivation in the slog that is an 82-game season. I believe the Lightning will have plenty of it here because they blew a three-goal lead in St. Louis on Tuesday and lost 4-3 in a shootout. The Lightning have lost five in a row to the Blues and this is their last meeting of the season. Yeah, this will matter a little to Tampa. Plus, No. 1 netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy should be in there after getting Tuesday off. St. Louis has lost its past four on the road. This ML will rise by morning.
