Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:TB +1.5 puck line★★★

A dog that keeps it close

Tampa Bay has stayed within a goal in four of their last five, and the puck line pays you for a one-goal loss.

The number

At +1.5 a regulation loss by one still cashes; only a two-goal defeat, empty-netter included, beats it.

The decider

Vasilevskiy is the weaker net narrowly right now — stopping about nine of ten, a touch under his baseline — so Tampa Bay's side of the scoreboard is the one likely to move.

The context

Both clubs have been playing ordinary games lately, so the pattern is not in dispute. Tampa Bay is putting 31.0 shots a game on net and finishing 10.1% of them.

Situational

Neither team is on a back-to-back and both had at least a day off; nothing here is worth adjusting for.

What breaks this

Their last meeting went at a 6-goal pace.
