<h2>Calgary Flames at Tampa Bay Lightning Odds</h2>
The Lightning are 40-24 straight up (SU) and have earned moneyline bettors 0.8 units this year.

Averaging 28.1 saves per game with a .915 save percentage, Andrei Vasilevskiy (32 wins, 15 losses, and three OT losses) has been the primary goalkeeper for the Lightning this season. If the Bolts decide to give him a breather, however, the team might turn to Curtis McElhinney (8-9-9 record, .908 save percentage, 2.83 goals against average).

The Bolts will continue looking for leadership from Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos. Kucherov (78 points) has tallied 31 goals and 47 assists and has recorded two or more points in 23 different games this year. Stamkos has 29 goals and 37 assists to his credit and has recorded at least one point in 41 games.

On the visiting bench, Calgary is 33-32 straight up (SU) and has lost 6.5 units for moneyline bettors this year. Through 65 regular season outings, 32 of its games have gone over the total, while 28 have gone under the total and just five have pushed. As the road team, Calgary is 19-16 SU.

Calgary has converted on 20.1 percent of its power play chances this season, a mark that's right around league average. On the other hand, its penalty kill unit is ranked seventh overall and it's successfully killed off 82.6 percent of all penalties.

Calgary's skaters have been penalized 3.7 times per game this season, and 1.8 per game over their past five outings. The team has had to stave off opponent power plays just 8.0 minutes per game over their last 10 outings.
