Stanley Cup Final betting: Lightning vs. Blackhawks Game 4 odds, stats

The Tampa Bay Lightning are a perfect 4-0 in their last four games as a road underdog. The Lightning will once again be looking for an upset in a hostile environment on Wednesday night when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final at the United Center.

Tampa Bay is a +145 underdog on the road according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Chicago is a -155 favorite at home after losing as a -162 favorite in Game 3.

Throughout the postseason, the Tampa Bay Lightning have proven they can win in different ways. While most fans and bettors view the Lightning as a finesse team, Tampa Bay has also shown the ability to play great defense on the road, beating the New York Rangers 2-0 in both Game 5 and Game 7 last round and beating Chicago 3-2 in Game 3 on Sunday.

Even with Ben Bishop playing in goal at less than 100% healthy, the Lightning were able to take back home ice with their win in Game 3. Tampa Bay is 7-2 over its last nine postseason road games according to the OddsShark NHL Database.

The Chicago Blackhawks did the quick striking in Game 1, erasing a 1-0 Tampa Bay lead with two goals in under two minutes to take the early 1-0 series lead. But in Game 3, Chicago was on the other side of a pair of surprising goals in the third period. After taking a 2-1 lead on a Brandon Saad goal early in the period, the Blackhawks saw the Lightning score 13 seconds later to tie the game and then again with 3:11 left to take the 3-2 lead.

Chicago is 0-2 over its last two games after going 10-3 over its previous 13 games this postseason. The Blackhawks are 7-2 at home so far this postseason.

Every minute of this series has been played with both teams either tied or separated by only one goal. Game 4 will likely be no different as both teams have been forced to fight for every inch of ice in the Stanley Cup final.
