Senators vs. Lightning Prediction

I’m on the Lightning here. I get why plus money could be tempting with Ottawa here as the Sens have had a tendency to give a run to Tampa Bay in past seasons, but the Lightning are coming off of a humiliating performance against Florida last time out and this is a good spot to get the bad taste out of their mouths against a Senators team that can’t win on the road and one that just took a huge loss against a bad Chicago team. I’ll side with Tampa Bay here.
