Both the St. Louis Blues and Tampa Bay Lightning are off to a fast start this season. Over is 6-2 in the last eight meetings at Amalie Arena and I think we'll see another high-scoring affair when they clash Saturday night.

The Lightning have scored a total of 18 goals through their first four games, but also conceded 15. They've impressed offensively as a team with Captain Steven Stamkos sitting on just one tally, and I expect the Lightning to keep trying to outscore their opponents as the defense is what it is (not very good).

The Blues have scored 17 and conceded 14 through five games. They had won four straight games prior to a 5-2 loss at Florida on Thursday. Note that over is 4-1-1 in the Blues' last six after allowing five goals or more in their previous game. They've allowed 33 shots of more in each of their five games on the season, so Tampa Bay should get plenty of chances to score.

I'm assuming we'll see Jake Allen vs. Andrei Vasilevskiy in net, and neither goalie has good numbers against tonight's opponent.

My selection is an 8* play on Over.
