New York Rangers vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction: The Lightning will record their first NHL win

Prediction for the NHL New York Rangers vs Tampa Bay Lightning match, which will take place on Octoberl 12. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Last season, the Rangers looked pretty good. They finished fourth in the Eastern Conference table with 110 points from 82 games. In the playoffs, however, the Rangers were not so lucky. They ran into powerful opponents, the last of which they could not manage - Pittsburgh (4:3 after two games), Carolina (4:3), and Tampa Bay (2:4). New York's preseason performance was far from its best. The Rangers have notched two wins and suffered four losses in their last six games.

Tampa Bay is the reigning Stanley Cup, silver medalist. In the title final, the Lightning was specifically unlucky against Colorado. Throughout the series, the Lightning played catch-up, which is understandable given the Avalanche's form at the time. As a result, Tampa lost the series with a score of 2:4. Tampa Bay comes to the first game of the new NHL regular season after beating Florida (5:2) and four defeats (1:5 by Carolina, 0:2 and 1:7 by Nashville, 2:3 by Florida).

In our opinion, Tampa Bay will register their first NHL win. The Rangers are tough, but they've always struggled with the Lightning. Four straight defeats in the Eastern Conference playoffs won't lie. With that in mind, we suggest playing the second team to win.
