New York Rangers v Tampa Bay Lighting Stanley Cup picks and prediction

The Stanley Cup continues tonight with Tampa Bay trying to level the series. The last time the Rangers hosted the Tampa Bay Lightning, most expected a high scoring affair given the offensive potency of both teams. That didn't turn out to be the case as the game finished 2-1 off the back of great defensive efforts and some shockers of missed chances.

So the bookies have dropped the Under/Over total by .5 and offered up a nice $2.40(+140) for the over. Last time out over 5.5 paid $1.87(-113) was the favoured of the two. Now you can grab that same original 5.5 line but the over is paying $3.35(+235). Same teams, same place, but the line of 5.5 has gone from 1.87 to 3.35 (-113 to +235). Crazy value in that stat alone. The last game had 54 total shots on goal, all but one of the penalties were killed, and on top there weren't all that many penalties to begin with. I can't see game 1 being an indicator that these teams aren't going to score regularly.

PICK: NY RANGERS/TAMPA BAY OVER 5.5 @ $3.35(+235)
