The Penguins are enjoying a strong stretch where they’ve earned points in six of their last seven games, but it’s probably too little too late. The Penguins have underachieved for much of the season, and they have 18 losses on the road.

The Lightning play their best hockey at home, where they’re 24-8-2 on the season, and they’ve won both games against the Penguins this season, outscoring them 8-4 in those games. Even with improved play lately, it’s hard to take the Penguins seriously. The Lightning are great at home. Give me the Lightning and the PL for max betting value.
