LiontipsTampa Bay vs Florida. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 6, 2021).
Command Analysis
The Tampa Bay Lightning have been showing average play in the preseason games. Few expected such a weak start from the Stanley Cup winners. They won only one game out of four, over Carolina (8:5). Striker Fortier made a big contribution to that victory with his hat-trick. In the rest of the games, the Lightning had problems with attacking performance, which is very unusual for them.
The Lightning suffered devastating defeats from Nashville (2:6 and 1:6) and failed to beat Carolina. Tampa conceded too many goals and haven't been able to improve their defensive play.
The Florida Panthers got off to a great start in the preseason. In the first two games, the Panthers defeated Nashville twice (5:4 OT and 3:1). Forward Vatrano deserves praise for scoring a hat-trick. Then the Panthers traveled to Dallas, where they prevailed over the Stars in a shootout (4:3).
In the return game against the Dallas Stars at home, Florida got a confident victory again (6:3). Striker Barkov scored a goal and gave two assists.
