These are two opposite team compositions. LA is one of the lowest scoring road teams while TB is one of the highest scoring home teams. By contract, LA has the lowest GA on the road in the league while TB has one of the highest GA at home.

The difference for me tonight is the choice of goalies.

Jonathan Quick is the confirmed starter for LA. In 12 games since the beginning of January, Quick has had a 1.54 GAA and 0.940 SV%. Unfortunately, LA has had trouble scoring.

Dwayne Roloson is the confirmed starter for Tampa Bay. In 9 home starts this year he is 4-3-1 with a GAA of 3.56 and SV% of 0.873. In his last 12 appearances he has a GAA of 4.24 and a SV% of 0.861. He had no starts in January.

LA has shown bursts of goals this year and tonight against a very weak goalie.  This is a bit of a risky bet but I think LA can easily win.

Prediction: 4-1 for Los Angeles
