The Golden Knights lost the last matchup 4-5. The game happened in Winnipeg. Not only that, but the Jets have gone 3-1 SU heading into the week. But Vegas has lost 4 straight.

On March 13, Pittsburgh beat Carolina 4-2. The Pens played a terrific game to get the victory.

From March 2 to March 12, the Rangers won 4-of-6. The 2 losses happened in games versus the St. Louis Blues and the Minnesota Wild. NYR has a great blue line.

Lightning win.

NHL Betting Pick: Lightning
