After four straight defeats, Tampa Bay won 5:0 against Buffalo. They lost 0:1 to Dallas after that, but the Lightning beat Anaheim 4:3 in overtime last week. Tampa Bay is in third place in the Atlantic Division table with 98 points, already guaranteed a playoff spot.

Winnipeg also won after four consecutive losses, defeating Ottawa 4:3. Then they beat Montreal 4:2, but in their last game the Jets lost to Florida (1:6). As for Winnipeg's position in the Central Division standings, they are in sixth place with 81 points. They still have a minimal chance of making the play-offs, but probably only mathematically.

The bookmakers' analysts consider Tampa Bay to be the favourites. However, the home team is already guaranteed a playoff spot, and they've rarely been faltering lately. The visitors have a theoretical chance to continue their season, and so they'll fight to the end.

Their head-to-head games between the opponents have been productive, with at least seven goals in their last five. That's why it's logical to bet on a total over.
