Tampa Bay Lightning vs Nashville Predators Prediction: The Predators will fight back against the Lightning

Prediction for the NHL Tampa Bay Lightning vs Nashville Predators match, which will take place on December 9. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Tampa Bay dropped its last game, losing to Detroit 2:4 in the stands. Before that, they had two wins: 4:1 over Philadelphia and 4:3 over Toronto. Thus, in the Atlantic Division standings, the Lightning lost their advantage to the Red Wings, forcing them to fight for a place in the top three. The Lightning has 31 points ahead of their game against Nashville.

Nashville has been showing great hockey lately. The team started to show its character by winning three games. Thanks to that, the Predators are one step closer to the playoff zone. They are just two points away from third place in the Central Division standings from Minnesota. In the last two games, the Predators first broke the winning streak of New Jersey (4:3) and then beat the Islanders in three pucks on the road.

Tampa Bay approaches the game as a favorite, but we do not advise writing off Nashville. Not so long ago, the Predators beat New Jersey, which this season shows incredible hockey, and right after that, they scored two points on the road against tough Islanders. Meanwhile, the Lightning beat Toronto in overtime and lost to Detroit. Based on this, we believe that the Predators will give a decent fight to the arena's owners. We suggest betting on the plus handicap for excellent odds.
