NHL Betting Picks, #5

TBL @ NYR 7:30 PM ET

In the fifth game today, we have the 5-3-2 Tampa Bay Lightning visiting the 3-5-1 New York Rangers. Head-to-head Tampa has won the last three meetings and are 6-2-2 in their last ten matchups with the Rangers.

In the Standings:

The Lightning are in fifth in the Atlantic but have three games in hand to the third and first place teams. The Rangers are in seventh in the Metro after struggling badly to start the season. However, they have the least amount of games played in this division and could catch up to the top quickly.
