by
  • The Tampa Bay Lightning have +115 odds on a three-way moneyline to beat the Montreal Canadiens.
  • The Tampa Bay Lightning have their total set at 2.5 goals.

MONTREAL, Canada—While the Stanley Cup Finals continue, NHL bettors can not only bet on the normal game lines but there are also different prop bets to take advantage of on the Tampa Bay Lightning in particular.

Some of the different prop bets that online sportsbooks have to offer on the Lightning are their odds on the three-way moneyline, their point total for the game, and their total for goals scored in the first period.

Tampa Bay Lightning 3-Way Moneyline

  • Lightning +115
  • Canadiens +185
  • Draw +285

When betting on the Lightning to win the game, bettors are better off taking their NHL odds on the three-way moneyline rather than on the normal game line being that they have longer odds. The only thing here that bettors would have to worry about is a draw happening.

However, the way the series has played out so far, it does not look like a draw is going to happen anytime soon being that the Lighting have won by two or more points in Games 1 and 2. With that said, money could certainly be made betting on the Lighting at +115 odds.

Tampa Bay Lightning Total Goals

  • Over 2.5 -110
  • Under 2.5 -120

The fact that the total for the Lightning is set lower than what they have scored in both games in the Stanley Cup Finals so far should have bettors flocking towards the Over with longer odds. Looking more into the trends for the Lightning’s game total, they have gone 3-1-3 with the Over in their last seven Stanley Cup Finals games. All in all, if the Lightning can continue with their hot scoring streak, bettors could be in for some good money betting on their Over.

Tampa Bay Lightning First Period Total Goals

  • Over 0.5 -130
  • Under 0.5 +100

Although the total is set low enough for bettors to take the chance on, they should also not be shocked if the Lightning go scoreless in the opening period. In their last three games, they have only scored in the first period once.

That is not to say that they will not score in the opening period in Game 3 being that they would do anything they can to take a 3-0 lead, but being that they have gotten off to a slow start in recent games is a strong enough case to take the Under for their first period total.
