T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Penguins/Tampa Bay Lightning OVER

I am on the over in the Lightning vs Penguins for this opening night game of the NHL. The Lightning are the defending Stanley Cup Champions and they have a very high scoring attack as they are one of the strongest offensive teams in the league. They are already back to their ways with all but 2 of their preseason games seeing 6+ goals in them. The Lightning love to score goals and the Penguins are going to have to score a lot to keep up in this game. The Penguins have also been scoring a lot in their preseason games. After a slow start in their first 2 games, they have had 6+ goals total in their last 4 preseason games. I think both of these teams are going to find the net and try to put on a show for opening night here. I like this game to go over the total.

T.M. Prediction: 4-3 Lightning
