Winnipeg vs. Tampa Bay: NHL Match Prediction
Winnipeg returns home on November 3, where they will play against guests from the state of Florida. The team from the province of Manitoba holds the lead in the West and has still lost only one match this fall. The Canadians demonstrate reliability when playing on their half of the ice, while the Lightning prefer an open style of hockey. Tampa Bay is currently among the eight best teams in the Eastern Conference, but Victor Hedman squad must not slow down under any circumstances. What will the duel between the clubs be like on the ice of the Canada Life Center arena? Will the hosts be able to strengthen their leadership in the NHL? Read about this in the forecast for the meeting
Command Analysis
Winnipeg Jets
CanadaCurrent form
Winnipeg leads the Western Conference standings and has already earned 20 points. The team has been demonstrating phenomenal results since the beginning of October and only recently broke its winning streak. It does not even think about stopping there, and still ends all the difficult matches in its favor. Scott Arniel charges are returning home after a successful trip. The Jets demonstrated excellent implementation of their chances and beat Detroit (6:2) and Columbus (6:2) with the same score. In the match against the "jackets", the then guests scored two goals in each period and easily brought the matter to the desired result.
The Canadians remain the most reliable team in the conference and rarely concede in large numbers. Only 2.36 times the red light comes on behind the net for the "fighters", who usually do not allow opponents to bother their goalies often. Connor Hellebuyck stopped 92.34% of the shots in his possession and recorded one shutout in eight starts.
Kyle Connor has hit insane form and has taken on the role of attack leader in his eighth season with the Jets. The Canadian is currently fifth in the league scoring list with 18 points (9+9) to his name.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ville Heinola will not take part in the match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Statistically, Winnipeg receives 4.73 penalty minutes.
The Jets play extremely disciplined and don't give their opponents many chances to play on the power play.
- On average, the "fighters" take 32 shots on target
In recent games, Winnipeg has played well on offense and scored a lot.
Tampa Bay Lightning
USACurrent form
Tampa Bay is only sixth in the East and can hardly be satisfied with its results. The team from Florida has earned 14 points in 11 games and the Lightning position in the conference table still looks rather shaky. The Lightning were able to improve at the end of October and have achieved success in three games in a row. John Cooper men beat Washington (3:0) and Nashville (3:2, OT) on home ice, showing a strong game in defense. The current road trip began for Victor Hedman squad with a victory in Denver over Colorado (5:2) and a major defeat in Minneapolis against Minnesota (3:5). The visitors even led the Wild after the first period, but failed in the final 20 minutes and did not score any points.
Andrei Vasilevskiy has missed almost every tenth shot on goal and has only one shutout in ten games. The Russian remains Tampa solid number one against Jonas Johansson, who looked disastrous in the two games where the visiting coach trusted him to start.
Nikita Kucherov continues to carry the team. For several seasons in a row, the forward from Russia has been showing very strong play and now the winger has 18 points (9+9) in the goal+pass system. The forward ranks fifth and is among the top five most productive players in the NHL.
Disqualifications and injuries
The guests will arrive in Canada in full force.
Interesting trends for betting
- Statistically, Tampa Bay is receiving 9.64 penalty minutes per game.
Tampa Bay is not known for its good discipline and commits an average of five fouls per game.
- The Leafs have an 18.4% power play percentage.
At the moment, the "leaves" are experiencing a lot of problems in this regard and are far from the best in terms of implementing the majority.
Trends
Bet 2nd period: total over 1.5 goals
In four out of five games involving Canadians, the second period was productive
1.50Bet 3rd period: home team to score
Tampa Bay has conceded in the third period in its previous two games.
1.38Tip and bets
Winnipeg is in great shape again and shows no signs of slowing down. The Canadian team plays great defense and regularly scores in large numbers. Tampa Bay often capitalizes on its offensive moments well, but forgets about defense. Andrei Vasilevskiy has not yet been able to help his teammates with reliable play on the last line, which is why the Lightning are losing a huge number of points. Since 2020, the Jets have confidently beaten the Lightning in regulation time. We believe that this series will continue on Sunday. We suggest betting on a victory for the Fighters with a zero handicap.
Prediction - Winnipeg win with handicap (0) for 1.70
Total Bet
Tampa Bay tries to play attacking hockey and prefers to score as much as possible. For this, the Lightning are often punished, especially in matches against the championship leaders. Winnipeg consistently scores its minimum, but recently the Canadians have not always been as reliable as they were at the very beginning of the season. We think that the opponents will score at least six accurate shots between them.
We bet on a total of over 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.65
Bet on individual total
Winnipeg has demonstrated great scoring in previous games and usually scored at least three or four goals. Tampa Bay is not known for its good defense, so at least three goals often end up in its net. By the way, the hosts have scored three times in all five of their last games, so it makes sense to bet on the individual total.
We take Winnipeg individual total of more than three goals for 1.80
