After a disappointing road trip where they went 2-3, the Tampa Bay Lightning will be glad to be back home tonight when they host the St. Louis Blues. The Lightning, who are just 6-10-2 on the road, are a different team when they hit the ice at Amalie Arena, owning an impressive 8-3-3 record. Since the firing of coach Craig Berube last Tuesday, the Blues have won two straight under interim coach Drew Bannister and that is usually the case after a firing, but it never lasts and neither will this one. The Blues are 9-5-0 at Enterprise Center but on the road they are a dismal 6-9-1.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING
