Tampa Bay Lightning vs New Jersey Devils Prediction: Lightning has been playing well lately

Prediction for the NHL Tampa Bay Lightning vs New Jersey Devils match, which will take place on March 20. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Tampa Bay is already mentally preparing for the NHL playoffs. In the Atlantic Division, the Lightning is in the bottom three with a solid 13-point lead over inferior Florida. The main thing in the remaining games is not to lose it. In the last three games, the Lightning beat New Jersey twice (4:1 and 4:3 after the shootout) and then beat Montreal 5:3.

New Jersey, too, need not worry about making the playoffs. The team scored 95 points in 69 games, which should undoubtedly not drop below the top eight in the Eastern Conference, considering that the Devils are 18 points ahead of ninth-place Florida. It is worth mentioning that New Jersey is not approaching this game in great shape, having suffered three losses, two of which were to Tampa Bay and one to the Panthers.

The opponents will meet for the third time in the last few days, but the first at Lightning Arena. The Devils have lost twice to Tampa Bay in front of their stands; of course, they will try to get revenge. However, the Lightning has been looking too good of late, so we doubt New Jersey will be able to resist much. We suggest, with reassurance, betting on an eventual victory for the first team.
