The Maple Leafs are playing well, but anytime I can get a plus price with Tampa Bay I'm inclined to take it. Such is the case here.
Toronto is 8-2 in its last 10 games. Tampa Bay, though, is 7-3 in its last 10 and owns the best record in the NHL. The Lightning are 19-9-2 on the road this season and have won in five of their last six visits to Toronto.
The Lightning have the superior offense - ranking No. 1 in the league in goals scored - and defense along with a far better goalie.
Tampa Bay won the lone meeting between the two teams this season, 2-0, last month. That game was in Toronto, too.
