LiontipsToronto vs Tampa. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL playoffs (May 4, 2022).
Command Analysis
Torontohave been on a high streak throughout the season. The team scored a lot, but also conceded a lot, too, which is why they often experienced difficulties even against outsiders. During the first game of the last-16 match, the Maple Leafs merely played in their usual manner.
Sheldon Keefe's men managed to score five goals, and Jack Campbell had a shutout performance - he made 24 saves. Plus, the Leafs defended against power play for a total of seven minutes and did not concede.
Before a disaster on Monday, Tampa Bay have not lost a Stanley Cup playoff game by five goals in over 20 years. The Lightning had a shocking game and couldn't create anything in attack. Perhaps, this crushing 0:5 defeat have become a wake up call for the team and we will see a very different performance in the second game.
Trends
СтавкаToronto IT under 3.5 goals
Toronto scored fewer than 4 goals in 3 of their last 5 games against Tampa.
Ставка2nd period: Tampa win
Tampa won the second period in 2 of the last 4 games between the clubs.
Tip and bets
Toronto were excellent in the first game, but we expect Tampa to recover after such a poor start to their playoffs campaign and get a win in the second game of the match. The Lightning simply threw the game away, and will be looking for redemption today.
Our prediction - Tampa to win
We do not expect a high-scoring game here. Tampa will most likely play carefully on defense, and we also doubt that Toronto will take unnecessary risks.
Second wager - total under 5.5 goals
