It is fair to say that the Lightning have Kraken’s number as they won all 4 matches in their history and it is safe to say that they did that easily as all 3 games finished with at least 3 goal difference for the Lightning and the Kraken have scored only 4 goals in those 4 games combined. The total goal difference is at 17-4 before tonight’s game. This game is being played in Tampa and the Lightning have looked great so far at home collecting 9 out of 10 possible points on their home ice with only dropping one point in an overtime loss to the Maple Leafs in a game where the Lightning 3-1 with only 8 minutes to go in the game. In their last two games, they didn’t allow a goal to the Hurricanes and the Sharks and scored 9 goals.

The Kraken bring a 2-5-2 record into this game and really don’t look good at this point in the season. They have only one road win this season in 6 games and that one came against Detroit in overtime. This is their last game on this road trip where they faced tough opposition and the Kraken aren’t in great shape as the Lightning look to continue their great form in another home game.

Everything points to another Lightning win and for breiver bettors taking the Lightning -1,5 handicap at 2.650 could pay nicely.
