The Tampa Bay Lightning and New Jersey Devils meet Tuesday in NHL action at the Prudential Center. The Tampa Bay Lightning look for a win after winning seven of their last 10 games. The New Jersey Devils need a win after losing 11 of their last 14 games. 

The Tampa Bay Lightning are averaging 3.3 goals per game and are scoring on 19.7 percent of their power play opportunities. Steven Stamkos leads Tampa Bay with 22 goals, Victor Hedman has 38 assists and Brayden Point has 103 shots on goal. Defensively, the Tampa Bay Lightning are allowing 2.7 goals per game and are killing 81 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Andrei Vasilevskiy has given up 84 goals on 1,084 shots faced, and Brain Elliott has allowed 24 goals on 246 shots.

The New Jersey Devils are averaging 2.9 goals per game and are scoring on 16.8 percent of their power play opportunities. Jesper Bratt leads New Jersey with 14 goals, Damon Severson has 21 assists and Dougie Hamilton has 108 shots on goal. Defensively, the New Jersey Devils are allowing 3.5 goals per game and are killing 83.3 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Jonathan Bernier has allowed 26 goals on 264 shots faced, and Mackenzie Blackwood has allowed 70 goals on 663 shots.

The Lightning are 5-2 in their last 7 road games and 127-61 in their last 188 overall. The Devils are 16-35 in their last 51 home games and 30-64 in their last 94 overall. The under is 4-1 in Lightning last 5 overall. The over is 15-7-1 in Devils last 23 games as an underdog. The Lightning are 8-18 in the last 26 meetings in New Jersey and 7-2 in the last 9 meetings.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are in one of their hot stretches again, and they rarely lose in these spots against lesser teams. The New Jersey Devils have provided no value in the underdog role this year, and playing at home simply hasn’t helped. It’s tough to find value in the Devils this season. Give me the Lighting and the PL for max betting value.
