LiontipsTampa vs Ottawa. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (November 2, 2022).
Command Analysis
Tampa played three away games in a row. In the first one, they lost to Los Angeles (2:4). Goaltender Vasilevskiy wasn't very reliable as he saved only 87% of shots on his goal. After that match, however, the Lightning defeated Anaheim (4:2), and then celebrated success over San Jose (4:3). The entire first line delivered great performance against the Sharks.
Ottawa were on a four-game winning streak before they unexpectedly lost to Minnesota at home (2:4) - the Senators simply couldn't withhold the Wild's attacks. After that, Ottawa suffered a defeat to Florida (3:5), and once again, the defensive line allowed the opponents to create too many scoring chances.

Tampa are back at home, where they usually deliver their best performances. Currently, the Lightning are in decent form and have almost recovered from their disastrous start to the season. Ottawa, on the other hand, really struggle against strong favorites and usually earn points only against weaker teams. We think that the home team has a better chance of winning tonight.
Our prediction - Tampa to win
The teams usually play open hockey in head-to-head games, which leads to high scores. The teams scored fewer than six goals in just two out of 13 previous meetings. Take the over.
