Betting Odds & Game Prediction
- Moneyline: Tampa Bay -145
- Over/Under: 5.5
My Prediction: This one feels like a tight, low-scoring affair. With both teams averaging under 3 goals per game and solid goaltending from Jake Oettinger and Andrei Vasilevskiy, I’m leaning toward the Under (5.5). Tampa Bay has home-ice advantage and momentum, but Dallas has been stingy defensively. I predict a 3–2 win for Tampa Bay in overtime.
