Tampa Bay Lightning vs Chicago Blackhawks: Chicago Blackhawks To Win (+330)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Tampa Bay Lightning have been solid lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games. They also play tough, blocking an average of 14.1 shots per game, keeping their opponents in check. On the other hand, the Chicago Blackhawks have struggled, winning only 3 of their last 10. However, they have a real chance here as an underdog.
With Tampa Bay feeling the pressure of expectations, Chicago might surprise everyone. They need to step up their game, especially since they're blocking fewer shots and delivering fewer hits than Tampa. Still, with odds of +330, it's a bet that could pay off, especially if the Lightning falter. Just remember, the Blackhawks need to find their spark to pull off the upset.
Tampa Bay Lightning vs Chicago Blackhawks: Chicago Blackhawks +0.5 3rd Period Puck Line (+122)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Tampa Bay Lightning have been on a decent run, winning 6 of their last 10 games. They play tough, blocking 14 shots a game, which shows they put in the effort to defend. However, they haven't been as dominant as they used to be, and the Chicago Blackhawks, despite their struggles, have shown they can compete.
The Blackhawks have won only 3 of their last 10, yet they can still put up a fight. Their ability to keep games tight makes this bet interesting. They block fewer shots and land fewer hits compared to Tampa, but with the odds being close to a coin flip, a +0.5 line for the Blackhawks in the third period feels worth a shot. Just keep in mind that Tampa playing at home adds to their advantage.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Blackhawks have struggled, winning only 3 of their last 10. They block fewer shots than the Lightning and also land fewer hits per game.
With the Blackhawks getting a +2.5 goal cushion, they could keep things close here. The Lightning may have home-ice advantage, but the Blackhawks are capable of surprising their opponents.

Tampa Bay Lightning vs Chicago Blackhawks: Nikita Kucherov Under 1.5 Points (-125)
Odds correct at time of publishing
You can get a decent price for Nikita Kucherov to score under 1.5 points in this matchup. Kucherov plays for the Tampa Bay Lightning, who have won 6 of their last 10 games. He's up against the Chicago Blackhawks, a team that has only won 3 of their last 10. The Lightning's defense has been solid, as they block a lot of shots, and that might limit Kucherov's chances.
The Blackhawks struggle to create chances, blocking fewer shots than the league average. However, there's a risk since Kucherov is a skilled player and can score at any time. Still, with the way both teams are playing, it looks like there's a good chance he might stay under 1.5 points tonight.
Tampa Bay Lightning vs Chicago Blackhawks: Anton Frondell Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (+220)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Anton Frondell has been making some noise lately, and he's got a good chance to rack up shots in this game against the Chicago Blackhawks. The Lightning are known for their aggressive style, so Frondell should get plenty of opportunities to shoot. Plus, the Blackhawks aren't blocking as many shots as the league average, which means more chances for him.
While Tampa Bay has won six of their last ten games, the Blackhawks have struggled, winning only three. This matchup is pretty close, and the outcome could go either way. Just keep an eye on how both teams are playing that night, as it could affect Frondell's chances to hit that mark of over 2.5 shots on goal.
Tampa Bay Lightning vs Chicago Blackhawks: Tyler Bertuzzi Over 0.5 Shots on Goal (-278)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Tyler Bertuzzi is a strong player who has a good chance of getting at least one shot on goal in this matchup. The Tampa Bay Lightning have been scoring well lately, winning six out of their last ten games. They also play a solid game, blocking an average number of shots, which means there will be opportunities for Bertuzzi to find his chances.
On the other hand, the Chicago Blackhawks have struggled lately, winning only three of their last ten games. They block fewer shots compared to the Lightning, which could make it easier for Bertuzzi to get his shot off. The biggest risk is that Bertuzzi might not see enough ice time to create a chance, but with his skills, he's likely to get at least one shot on goal.
