The Tampa Bay Lightning are going to get the benefit of the doubt from oddsmakers, especially at home, as you’re talking about the best team in hockey over the last 5 years or so. The Philadelphia Flyers probably aren’t as good as they’ve been through their first 2 games, and they have yet to prove they can get the job done on the road. This line makes sense. However, the Lightning have been sluggish out the gate through 3 games, and they’re allowing the fifth most shots up to this point. It won’t last long, but there’s no doubt there’s value as a shot in the dark with the Flyers and a chance to make more than 2 times your money.
