by Stephen Abiola | in NHL Picks
Tampa Bay Lightning (35-20-4) and Columbus Blue Jackets (30-22-8) will hit the ice on Tuesday night at the Amalie Arena. Tampa Bay Lightning are the most in-form team in the league right now, winning their last eight games. This impressive run of results has seen them lock down the third spot in the Atlantic Division with 74 points. The Lightning are now just 2 points behind the Maple Leafs and 3 behind the Panthers. Remember, the Panthers have played two games more.
Like the Lightning, the Blue Jackets are also in fine form after winning their last four assignments. They defeated the Red Wings in back-to-back matches last week, scoring 10 goals in the process. The Blue Jackets have now won six of their last 10 games and are fourth in the Metropolitan Division with 68 points.
