10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK > > OFF SOLID 2-1 TUESDAY!
(NHL) Montreal vs. Tampa Bay,
Total: 5.00 | 104.00 Under
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Habs/Lightning UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK).

Game 1 went over the number. That was a bit surprising, as these teams came in as two of the top defensive clubs in the league. Montreal goaltender Carey Price is allowing an average of just 2.04 GPG, while Lightning netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 18 out of 19 shots faced in Game 1. I think Montreal will be a lot better and more competitive here though, as note that the Habs have seen the total go under the number in eight of their last 11 in trying to revenge a three goals or greater loss to an opponent; all signs point to a much more defensive affair, therefore the prudent call is the under!

T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Tampa.
