PREDICTION: TAMPA BAY , EDMONTON
Oddsmakers currently have the EDMONTON listed as 160-moneyline favorites versus the TAMPA BAY, while the game’s total is sitting at 6.
Two of last season’s three 100-point scorers will be on display when the improving Edmonton Oilers visit the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday for a high-octane battle. Edmonton captain Connor McDavid is well on his way to a third-straight 100-point campaign with 21 and Tampa Bay’s Nikita Kucherov is averaging a point per game in the early going for the Eastern Conference-leading Lightning.
Tampa Bay became the first team in the East to reach 10 wins on Sunday, when it tied the game with 33 seconds remaining and won it on Yanni Gourde’s goal 14 ticks into overtime for a 4-3 victory at Ottawa. “I really thought our guys chipped away, and it did not come easy,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper told reporters after his team recorded a 37-12 advantage in shots over the last two periods and the extra session. “They had to continue to work, obviously all the way to the very end, but the group has showed that this year with us, and I thought they deserved the two points.” Edmonton earned a point in six of seven games (5-1-1) before dropping a 4-2 decision at Washington on Monday as has split the first two contests of its four-game road trip that concludes at Florida on Thursday. McDavid scored his 10th goal in Monday’s loss, giving him six tallies and five assists during his eight-game point streak.

ABOUT THE OILERS (8-5-1): Ryan Nugent-Hopkins set up both goals on Monday and ranks second on the team with 16 points – trailing only McDavid (22), who is second in the league behind Colorado’s Mikko Rantanen (24). Leon Draisaitl scored his eighth goal in the setback for Edmonton, which has gotten unexpectedly big production from Alex Chiasson (six goals) and Drake Caggiula (five). Ty Rattie (abdomen) could return to the lineup on Tuesday, with underachieving forwards Jesse Puljujarvi (one goal) and Ryan Strome (zero points) being candidates to sit out if he does.
ABOUT THE LIGHTNING (10-3-1): Rookie Mathieu Joseph, who has impressed with speed and grit to earn a consistent spot in the lineup, scored his first NHL goal Sunday in his 14th game. “You can see on the bench, everyone is excited for him,” captain Steven Stamkos told reporters. “When you’re in a stretch like that, you just keep going and, eventually, one will go in. It’s even more special coming in the win.” Brayden Point recorded the tying goal and set up the winner Sunday to push his team-leading point total to 17 – eight of which have come in the last four contests.
OVERTIME
1. Edmonton RW Tobias Rieder, who has notched seven assists in his first season with the team, has not scored in 18 straight games – including playoffs.
