(NHL) Lightning (TB) vs. Islanders (NYI),
Point Spread: -1.50 | 154.00 Lightning (TB) (Away)
Result: Win
No time to waste for the Islanders, who have shifted into overdrive as it tries to finish atop the Atlantic Division and avoid a first-round playoff matchup vs. either the Maple Leafs or the Panthers. Across the last three games, Tampa Bay has outscored foes 19-4 while winning each. When last seen on Saturday, the Lightning was beating the Islanders 5-3 at Amalie Arena, a game Tampa bay was dominating at 4-0 before a belated late NY push. Everyone has been involved in the scoring act (how about Nikita Kucherov's 11 points across the past three games, and a four-game goal streak), while Andrei Vasilevskiy has been his usual self in goal, winning five of his last six starts and posting a 2.09 GAA in March. Meanwhile, the Isles' playoff challenge has suffered in the past two weeks with five straight losses, allowing 24 goals in the process. Play Lightning on Puck Line
