New York Rangers vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction: Lightning will open the scoring in the series

Prediction for the first game of the Stanley Cup Eastern Conference Finals between the Rangers and Tampa Bay on June 2. Check the teams’ conditions and expert betting tips. Several betting options are available!

The Rangers had trouble reaching the Eastern Conference final. First, they barely beat Pittsburgh, who won 3:1 after the fourth game, and then, in the semi-finals, they beat Carolina. The series with the Hurricanes followed a similar pattern, but the New Yorkers reacted in time. They had lost their first two away games, but their excellent play in front of the home crowd helped the Rangers qualify for the next stage. 

Tampa Bay was pleasantly surprised in the semi-finals. They faced Florida, who had played well all season in the regular season. However, the team had no trouble against the Panthers, winning four games. The Lightning battled Toronto to the end in the quarterfinals and won the seventh game (2:1).

The Rangers have shown their character in the past two rounds, but Tampa Bay is more sympathetic. The Lightning showed their high level in the series with Florida, who didn't stand a chance.

We expect the first game of the final promises will be a bright one. The Rangers have lost only one home game in their last eight. So the visitors shouldn't expect an easy walk. With this in mind, we hope the second team wins, and we suggest betting on a Lighting not to lose, strengthening the odds with the total over.
