Edmonton continues the home series, which it started very successfully. In the opening match, the team faced Nashville and played well defensively, preventing it from realizing itself in attack and winning a convincing victory (3:1). Next, the Oilers faced San Jose, and this time there were minor defensive difficulties, but the offensive line compensated for all the shortcomings by beating the Sharks with a score of 5:3. It seemed that the Oilers would demonstrate a similar result in the duel with Florida, but suddenly the club could not score a single goal, suffering a dry defeat (0-4). Edmonton shows such results very rarely, so it remains in the playoff zone, occupying the sixth place in the Western Conference table.
It seems that Tampa Bay has finally overcome its protracted slump, as it has once again begun to smash every opponent in its path. The team went on an away tour and in the very first match left no chance for Seattle (6:2). The attacking three of the first team demonstrated an incredible game, scoring a total of 12 effective actions. They managed to consolidate their success away from the main outsider of the league in the person of Vancouver, also defeating it with a score of 6:2. Thanks to the points scored, the lightning return to the fight for leadership in the Eastern Conference table.
Edmonton is waiting for a difficult match to rehabilitate himself in front of his fans after a major defeat by Florida. This time, the opponent will be a much more serious club, which is in excellent shape. Tampa Bay has overcome a prolonged slump and is ready to consistently score points again, both at home and away. We believe that betting on the owners of the ice will not bring the desired result this time, so we suggest choosing Lightning as the winner.
Our prediction is that Tampa Bay will win the game in 1.73
