Penguins vs Lightning under 6.5 (-105)
Both the Penguins and the Lightning enter Wednesday with 11 wins and 10 regulation losses. In a game between similar teams that both have high-end talent, there is not much margin for error. Games like that typically bode well for a lower total. A lower total would reinforce unders trends that have been rolling for both teams lately.
The under has hit in 8 out of Pittsburgh's last 9 games, as well as in their last 5 on the road. The total has also gone under in 4 out of Tampa's last 5 games and in 4 out of their last 6 at home. These teams have met once this season in a game which ended with 6 goals. Tonight's matchup looks to bring more of the same.
