Tampa Bay Lightning vs St. Louis Blues Prediction: The Lightning look great

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 20. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Tampa Bay shows itself frankly bad. Everyone knows what this team is capable of, but there have been no successes so far. So, at the moment, the Lightning are only in the fifth position in the Atlantic Division table with 33 points, even outside the playoff zone. And if we talk about the team's last matches, they alternate victories with defeats in six duels in a row. Thus, after the recent 7:4 with Edmonton, Tampa Bay lost to Calgary by a score of 2:4.

St. Louis has earned 31 points. This is not enough to be in the playoff zone - the Musicians are on the sixth line in the Central Division standings. Recently, they had a long series of four consecutive defeats in regulation time, but the day before, they managed to register two victories. First, St. Louis beat Ottawa with a score of 4:2, then coped with Dallas in overtime (4:3).

In the upcoming meeting, we will agree with the analysts of bookmaker companies who consider Tampa Bay the favorite. At the Amalie Arena, the Lightning look great and steadily pick up points. But St. Louis has been bad on the road lately - four losses in five games. The Lightning also have a serious motivation - they must avenge the Blues for the embarrassing 0:5 in November. That's why we suggest not to make anything up and bet on the home team's victory (taking into account overtime and shootout).
