Tampa Bay - Boston: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

As expected, the interrupted winning streak of eight matches in a row and the disappointing defeat by Florida (1:2) did not affect the morale of the team as a whole, and it continued to delight the fans with successful results. The lightning quickly rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans and regained their lost points in a duel with Columbus, in which they left no chance for the Blue Jackets, defeating them with a score of 6:2. Once again, the entire first link showed a great game, which together managed to score 11 effective actions.

Continuing to perform in their native walls, the lightning met with Buffalo and this time met with serious resistance from the opponent. There were huge problems in defense, which almost led to defeat, but still, due to their own performance in attack, they managed to compensate for all the shortcomings and win another victory in regular time (6:5). It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. Thanks to such successful performances, the club continues to climb the Eastern Conference table and is already on the fourth line, with 78 points.

Current form

Few people could have expected that Boston's recession would drag on so much. In the last nine matches, the team has managed to score only one victory, and that was over a clear outsider, in the person of Pittsburgh (3:2). What is especially noteworthy is that this victory did not help the club recover in any way, and it continued to show very weak results. The Bears went to visit Minnesota, where they could not score a single goal at all, having suffered a dry defeat (0:1). It seemed that by returning to the home arena, the team would be able to at least give a decent rebuff to Nashville, but this did not happen. Constant defensive failures led to a crushing defeat (3-6).

The Bruins played well only away from Carolina, where they put serious pressure on the opponent throughout the match, but the puck stubbornly did not fly to the target. As a result, the Hurricanes seized the advantage just 20 seconds before the final whistle, which led to another setback (2:3). Due to such weak performances, the club has already dropped to 12th place in the Eastern Conference table, and the gap from the playoff zone continues to grow and already stands at three points.

Disqualifications and injuries

In Boston's infirmary, everything is still unchanged. The team continues to play without Lindholm, Marchand and MakAvoy.
