Free Tampa Bay Lightning vs. St. Louis Blues NHL Hockey Prediction
The Lightning have been in a funk lately, but they are still a great team that could go far into the playoffs this season.
Despite the results of their last few games, they have plenty of weapons who can put the puck in the net.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Tampa Bay -120
St. Louis has been hot lately, but as good of a team as Tampa Bay is, I can’t see their skid going on much longer. They have gone two games in a row with a total of only two goals and are still averaging 2.9 per game.
A win against a quality team like St. Louis could be just what they need to get things turned around and that is exactly how I see things going down here.
