LiontipsBoston vs Tampa. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (November 30, 2022).
Command Analysis
Boston remain one of the leaders of the Eastern Conference. The team is level on points with New Jersey and rarely loses at home. In one of the recent games, they were defeated by Florida (2:5), but in the following match, the Bruins prevailed over Carolina in overtime (3:2 OT). The Bruins are solid on defense and score a lot. The top scorer for the team is David Pastrnak, who has already chalked up 32 points.
Tampa are quite inconsistent this season, but nevertheless, they are in the top-8 in the East. The Lightning won six of their previous seven games, and the only defeat they suffered was to the Bruins (3;5). In the following two games, the Lightning celebrated success over St. Louis (5:2) and Buffalo (6:5 ОТ). John Cooper doesn't have a strong defensive line - Tampa mostly rely on Vasilevskiy and often concede three goals per game. However, they usually can answer with more than three, plus they convert 28.1% of their power play chances.
