The Utah Hockey Club looks to bounce back after a 5-1 home loss to the Detroit Red Wings.
Utah is 32-28-11 and sits sixth in the Central Division. The team is eight points out of a wild card spot with only 11 games left in the season. Lately, they have been playing slightly above-average hockey and will need strong performances on both sides of the puck against an elite Lightning team.
Tampa Bay is 41-25-5 and ranks third in the Atlantic Division. The Lightning are just two points out of the division lead and will undoubtedly push for the title and the second seed in the playoffs. Tampa is a high-scoring team at home and is coming off one of its best wins of the month.

Utah vs. Lightning Predictions and Picks
The Utah Hockey Club battles the Lightning in this Western vs. Eastern Conference matchup. Utah is 5-3-2 in its last ten games and recently faced Tampa Bay, winning 6-4 at home last week. However, the Hockey Club has been inconsistent on the road.
In their most recent loss to the Red Wings, Utah outshot Detroit 19-14 and dominated faceoffs, winning 35-21. However, the Red Wings capitalized on their limited scoring chances and were effective at blocking shots. Utah went 1-for-5 on the power play, so the special teams will need to bounce back and keep pace with Tampa's high-powered offense.
The Lightning are 5-4-1 in their last ten games and aim to carry their momentum through this short homestand. Recently, Tampa has had a mix of close wins and losses, along with some dominant blowout victories.
In their most recent 6-1 win over the Penguins, the Bolts set the tone early, scoring four goals in the first period. Tampa outshot Pittsburgh 27-15 but converted just one of four power-play opportunities. That's the Lightning offense, capable of scoring in bunches, with or without the help of special teams.
Best Bet: Tampa Bay Puckline
Both teams have recently struggled on the power play and just faced each other. Utah defeated Tampa at home and will be playing desperate hockey as they try to make a late push for the playoffs. Meanwhile, Tampa is coming off a complete-team victory and is in a sprint to the finish for the Atlantic Division title. The Lightning will be ready to perform well on both sides of the puck and build momentum.
