- The Montreal Canadiens are down 0-3 in the Stanley Cup Finals.
- The Tampa Bay Lightning are -160 favorites on the road in Game 4.
- A sweep is a very real possibility in this series.
MONTREAL - The Tampa Bay Lightning are probably going to win the Stanley Cup on Monday night.
The Lightning are currently up 3-0 in their series against the Montreal Canadiens, they’ve won each of the games in the series by two or more goals, and the whole thing is beginning to feel like a fait accompli.
The Canadiens, for their part, are still a Cinderella story - they’re just stuck at the part where the clock strikes midnight and everything falls apart.
The aggregate score in the series so far is 14-5, the Lightning have covered the puck line three times in a row, and the online sportsbooks do not have faith in the Canadiens to even win a game, let alone four in a row.
Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Montreal Canadiens Game 4 Moneyline
- Tampa Bay Lightning -160
- Montreal Canadiens +140
The Lightning are -160 favorites on the road in Montreal, and that must be a tough sight to see for any Canadiens backers.
Indeed, the Lightning are more favored in Game 4 than they were in Game 3, which was under similar circumstances.
This is likely because there was, prior to Game 3, a hope that the Canadiens could rally at home.
