Montreal vs Tampa. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (July 3, 2021).

Montreal got off to a bad start in the Stanley Cup final, suffering a crushing defeat with a score of 1:5. The team showed a terrible game in defense, and the performance of goaltender Price was particularly weak. He only stopped 81% of the shots. It is also worth mentioning the fact that the Canadiens created few dangerous moments at the opponent's goal, which is why they only managed to one goal.

In the second away match, the Canadiens again failed to find their game, losing to the Lightning (1:3). This time, the attacking line played much better, taking 43 shots on goal, and yet they couldn't score more than once.

Tampa continue to crush their opponents in the playoffs. This time Montreal suffered from the Lightning: Tampa have already defeated the opponent twice. In the first match, forward Kucherov scored a double and gave an assist - a stellar performance.

In the second game, the Lightning weren't as productive, but that did not stop them from winning with a score of 3:1. The main hero of the game was the goalie Vasilevsky, who saved 42 shots. That was a huge contribution to the victory. Now the team has a serious advantage, and the chances of winning the CUp are excellent.
