Montreal - Tampa Bay. Betting Tip (cf 1.94) and bets on the NHL match

Montreal began the opening round of the playoffs with two away games, in which it was able to create serious problems for Tampa Bay. In the initial match, the team could hardly cope with the pressure of the opponent, but due to the magnificent realization of the moments in the attack, it compensated for all the shortcomings and snatched Victoria in overtime (4:3). However, it turned out to be impossible to consolidate the success, frequent failures in defense led to an offensive defeat also in extra time (2:3). Returning to the home arena, the Canadians played many times better in defense, allowing the opponent to make only 17 shots at their own goal in three periods and won the second victory with a score of 3:2 (OT).

Tampa Bay confirmed fans' concerns about their form before the start of the Stanley Cup. Even on the home stage, the team experienced great difficulties in the matches against Montreal, especially in defense. The attacking line could not compensate for all the shortcomings, but still managed to snatch one Victory in overtime. As expected, the Lightning played even worse away. The club gave the entire initiative to the Canadiens, practically without creating proper pressure on the opponent, which led to a natural defeat (2:3, OT). Once again, goalkeeper Vasilevsky did not meet the expectations of the fans, reflecting only 89% of shots.
