Scott “The Bulldog” Rickenbach NHL Free Pick OVER 6.5 in Tampa Bay Lightning vs Buffalo Sabres @ 5:05 ET – Buffalo has been a scrappy hard-fighting team that has made life difficult for strong clubs as they put a scare into them with strong offensive showings. The Lightning are a 4 to 1 money line favorite here though with good reason! The fact is that the Sabres should enjoy some success in the offensive zone and create good scoring opportunities plus the TB netminding has not been as strong as usual of late. However, the other fact is that Buffalo has struggled defensively and in protecting their own cage. That said, I am looking for plenty of scoring here. The Sabres 8 of last 10 games have totaled 7 or more goals. Going further back it is 19 of 29 games totaling 7 or more goals. The Bolts are hungry off a 2-1 OT loss at home to Boston Saturday. Before that low-scoring defeat Tampa had played 5 straight games totaling at least 7 goals and they will be relentless on the attack here as they are angry having lost 4 straight games! That means plenty of goals in this one! Free Pick OVER 6.5 in Tampa Bay
