The 25-18-5 Tampa Bay Lightning are coming off a successful 3-game road trip and will return home tonight to the friendly confines of Amalie Arena to face the 23-20-3 Arizona Coyotes. The Lightning have been hot, going 6-1 in their last 7, and when they take the ice in Tampa that usually represents a win, where they are 15-5-3. The Coyotes are not the team of old and are great at home but when you take them out of the desert they are just 8-11-3. The Coyotes have won the last two meetings but both were in Arizona so it’s payback time for the Bolts.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING
