LiontipsBoston vs Florida. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 18, 2022).
Command Analysis
Boston had a good start to the new NHL season. The team won twice, despite having to play without their leaders, such as Marchand, McAvoy, and DeBrusk. After a confident victory over Washington (5:2), the Bruins beat Arizona (6:3). David Pastrnak is yet to score a goal, but he has already given three assists. Boston are demonstrating an open brand of hockey at the start of the season - we expect more of that from them under Montgomery.
Florida will aim to take one of the leading positions in the conference at the start of the regular season. After a confident victory over the Islanders (3:1), the Panthers overcame Buffalo (4:3). Paul Maurice's team has problems on defense, but their attacking performance has been spectacular; forward Matthew Tkachuk has already scored two goals and given an assist.
