Tampa Bay Lightning 3-way ML (+130) over Florida Panthers
To say the Lightning are not off to the start of the season most would have anticipated would be an understatement. A 1-3-0 record and last place in the Atlantic Division is very unlike the team that has won 2 of the past 3 Stanley Cups. They did lose some secondary skaters, but their core remains intact. Therefore, expect a big bounce-back from Tampa against their cross-state rivals tonight. There's no denying the Panthers are a great team in their own right, but the Lightning handled them with ease in their most recent meeting.'
