Edmonton Oilers vs Tampa Bay Lightning: Lightning beat the Oilers for the sixth time in a row

Prediction for the NHL Edmonton Oilers vs Tampa Bay Lightning match, which will take place on March 13. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

No matter how good the Oilers look in individual games, all this will be meaningless if the team doesn't make the playoffs in the end. So far, the question of making the postseason has not been resolved. Edmonton is 9th in the West and one point behind the top 8. In the previous game, Edmonton broke the resistance of Washington, being stronger on home ice in overtime (4:4).

The Lightning's previous game ended in another defeat for them. John Cooper's team lost on the road to Calgary with a score of 1:4. This was their third loss in the last five games. As a tradition of championship seasons, the Lightning drop hockey at the end of the regular season.

The motivation of Edmonton and Tampa Bay in the upcoming game isn't compatible. The first team is still out of the playoff picture, while the latter have been in the playoff picture for quite some time. Nevertheless, the Oilers will beat the Lightning. Their two defeats in a row could easily become a dangerous joke on the Oilers. It is unlikely that the Lightning's plans include a third loss in a row. Prediction: Tampa Bay will be closer to victory.
