Tampa Bay Lightning vs Calgary Flames Prediction: Both teams shouldn't make any mistakes in the upcoming encounter

Prediction for the NHL Tampa Bay Lightning vs Calgary Flames match, which will take place on November 18. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Tampa Bay hasn't yet clinched a playoff spot in the Atlantic Division. At the end of 16 games, the Lightning has 19 points, only one more than fifth-placed Detroit. If they fail in the upcoming match, Tampa is at risk of dropping out of the top 4. The Lightning approach the game with Calgary after a 5:1 defeat against Washington and two victories - 6:3 over the Capitals and 5:4 after overtime over Dallas.

Thanks to a 3:2 win over Winnipeg the game before last, Calgary snapped their awful seven-game losing streak. After a good performance against the Jets, the Flames secured their second win in a row, beating Los Angeles by one puck (6:5). Calgary is now in eighth place in the Western Conference standings and fifth in the Pacific with 16 points. It's worth noting that the Flames are in the playoff zone, and if they lose their next game and Minnesota wins, their position in the championship could significantly worsen.

We don't entirely agree that Tampa Bay is approaching the game as a favorite. The Lightning looks more stable, but Calgary has improved in the last two games. Both team can't make any mistakes in the upcoming match. Otherwise, it could cost them a playoff spot. So betting on outcomes is not an option. It's better to take a closer look at the TO. Tampa Bay averages 6.5 pucks per game, while Calgary averages 6.3. All in all, we're looking forward to a high-scoring game.
