St. Louis Blues vs Tampa Bay Lightning Betting Trends
Updated:Dec 22, 2025 1:08 AM EST
The NHL showdown on December 22, 2025, features the St. Louis Blues visiting the Tampa Bay Lightning at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, FL. This game is a pivotal regular season contest that offers compelling betting trends and game insights for hockey fans and bettors alike. Tampa Bay enters as the favorite with a -1.5 spread and -240 moneyline odds at Caesars, while St. Louis is the underdog at +196 moneyline and +1.5 spread. The total points line is set at 5.5, leaning towards the over at -120 odds.
The Blues have been strong on the road with an 11-6 against the spread (ATS) record away from home, while the Lightning have struggled at home ATS with a 4-14 record. St. Louis boasts a powerplay percentage of 14.4% compared to Tampa Bay's 16%, and their penalty kill is slightly better at 81.2% versus 79.5%. Both teams have competitive 5-on-5 scoring rates, with Tampa Bay holding a slight edge in goals per game (3.23) over St. Louis (2.54).
Key players to watch include the starting goalies, with Tampa Bay's netminder likely to start despite a questionable status, offering stability. St. Louis relies on consistent offensive output and solid defensive efforts. Recent games show Tampa Bay's offense is potent but inconsistent at home, while St. Louis has demonstrated resilience on the road. Tampa Bay's higher shooting percentage and home-ice advantage give them the edge, but St. Louis' better penalty kill stats could keep the game tight.
This matchup is broadcast on ESPN+, FDSMW, and The Spot, providing fans ample viewing options. Bettors should consider the current form, betting trends, and individual player matchups to make informed wagers. The Blues and Lightning have a history of tight contests, including the last matchup on December 19, 2024, when Tampa Bay won 3-1, which you can explore further on our detailed page.
