NHL Best Bets: Don't Expect Lightning to Strike Often Against Penguins

Happy Thursday! There are a dozen games on the NHL schedule tonight. A premier matchup between the Penguins and Lightning starts things off, while a Pacific Division battle between the Sharks and Oilers ends the night. In between are quality matchups between the Golden Knights and Panthers, Jets and Blues, Predators and Flames and a whole lot more.

There’s plenty to wager on, but let’s take a closer look at two games in particular. Here are my two best bets for Thursday:

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Tampa Bay Lightning: Lightning under 3.5 goals (-110)

Betting against Tampa Bay’s offense at home can be a tough pill to swallow, but hear me out.
