The Tampa Bay Lightning are going to be favored for obvious reasons, as they rarely lose at home, and they’ve owned the Penguins in recent meetings. With that said, we’re getting a fantastic Penguins side that’s proven time and time again they can win on the road at a big underdog price. You don’t get the Penguins at this price often. I’ll take a stab with the road dog here based on the value.
