Stephen Nover's NHL Game of the Week
(NHL) Tampa Bay vs. Vegas,
Money Line: -121.00 Tampa Bay (Away)
Result: Loss
The Golden Knights are 4-0 this month. But the oddsmaker has it right making the Lightning road chalk. 

Las Vegas barely edged the lowly Sharks, 2-1, at home two days ago. The Golden Knights' other wins were also against unimpressive foes - the Ducks, slumping Wild and Predators. Las Vegas is not a strong home team. 

Tampa Bay should come in highly motivated after being upset by the Coyotes, 1-0, in a shootout this past Wednesday. The Lightning played their backup goalie in that game and also outshot Arizona, 47-26. 

Until that loss, Tampa Bay had won three in a row. The Lightning have won the past six times they've faced an above .500 opponent.
