LiontipsPhiladelphia vs Tampa. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 6, 2021).
Command Analysis
Philadelphia continue to show disastrous results, and their losing streak has reached seven games, most of which ended in regulation. However, the Flyers managed to earn points, losing to Florida in overtime (1:2 OT) and Tampa in a shootout (3:4 SO).
The main reason for such a weak performance is terrible defensive play. The Flyers concede a large number of goals, and even goaltenders Hart and Jones can't always help their team. For example, Philadelphia suffered two crushing defeats to New Jersey (2:5) and the Rangers (1:4).
Tampa mostly played away from home recently, and in 7 games they suffered only one defeat in regulation time, to Minnesota (2:4). The Lightning's defense was unable to stop the opponent's pressure and allowed the Wild to create a large number of scoring chances.
Not all of Tampa's victories were easy, for example, they put a lot of effort into beating Boston (3:2 OT) and Philadelphia (4:3 SO).
