LiontipsTampa vs Minnesota. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (November 22, 2021).
Command Analysis
The Tampa Bay Lightning lost their last match to New Jersey (2:5), thus interrupting the winning streak that had reached three games. Tampa's goalie Vasilevski wasn't as reliable as he usually is.
Before that defeat, Tampa recorded two victories outside regulation against Florida (3:2 ОТ) and Philadelphia (4:3 SO). Despite this recent dip in form, Tampa still look powerful and will try to bounce back in the home game against the Wild.
Minnesota played two contrasting games at home. In the first match, they were crushed by San Jose (1:4); the Wild's goalie Talbot had a terrible game and saved only 80% of the shots. But in the following fixture, the Wild devastated Dallas with a score of 7:2, and Kaprizov was excellent, having scored a goal and given three assists.
The away game against Florida was close, but the Wild yielded in regulation with a score of 4:5. Now Minnesota hope to get back on the winning track at Tampa Bay.
