Ottawa Senators vs. Tampa Bay Lightning
Thursday, April 11, 2024 – 07:00 PM ET at Amalie Arena
Expect Early Goals in Florida
They really are the Lightning this season when it comes to scoring goals early as the Lightning are 26-11-1 to the over 1.5 goals during the first period when playing on home ice this season and against a team such as the Ottawa Senators we expect some early goals in this NHL matchup.
The Senators don’t have as strong a record when it comes to first period goals when playing on the road, but that said they still have a winning one with an overall record of 20-16-2. Four of the previous five games between these two teams have gone over 1.5 goals during the first period and tonight we expect it to be five in six.
The Pick
We are looking to lay some juice here at -135 NHL betting odds for some goals to be scored early but it’s a bet we are confident in as both teams (especially Tampa Bay) have proven this season that they are capable of putting scores on the board early in games.
Tampa Bay is the second-highest goalscorer in the Eastern Conference this season.
