The Tampa Bay Lightning played their best game of the series with a 4-1 win over the Rangers in Game 4. That evened up the series at 2-2 with both teams holding serve in their home building. Tonight we shift back to New York for a pivotal Game 5. The Rangers need to win, in order to avoid going back to Tampa Bay down 3-2, and the Lightning having a chance to eliminate them. This should be a knock down drag-out affair between these two evenly matched teams.

*PAPA DUDES BEST BET OF THE DAY* Tampa Bay at New York: The series is tied at 2-2: Tampa Bay heads into Madison Square Garden with momentum after winning two straight games in Tampa to get back into the series. They were very good in Game 4, scoring the first three goals and Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 34 of 35 shots to keep the Rangers from having any chance at a comeback. Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos both scored goals as the defending champs sent a message to New York. The Rangers can take some confidence into the game tonight, knowing they are 8-1 at home in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. They outscored the Lightning 9-4 in the first two games of this series and Igor Shesterkin outplayed Vasilevskiy in goal. They have to find a way to get their offense going again and they could very well be without Filip Chytil who has scored 7 goals in the playoffs. This is a difficult game to predict and should go down to the wire. I’m been with Tampa Bay all through the playoffs and Vegas is too, as they have made the Lightning the favorite. I’m cautiously going with Tampa Bay in this one. PAPA DUDES BEST BET: Bet the MoneyLine on Tampa Bay -130
