Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 9. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Vancouver is back at its home arena in high spirits. The team played six road games in a row, recording four wins and two losses, one of which was outside the main time. We should also note that the first game in the home series the Whales held the maximum success. Losing to Columbus 0:2, the Canucks hit the opponent's wicket five times in a row, thanks to which they recorded a 5:2 victory. Thus, in the Western Conference standings, Vancouver is in fifth place with 32 points.

In the current season, Tampa Bay does not shine with results. The only goal of the team for the current season is to get the Wild Card. The Lightning are unable to fight for higher places, as evidenced by 13 wins in 24 games played. Thus, in the Eastern Conference table, the Lightning are in eighth place with the same number of points as Philadelphia and Pittsburgh - 28. It should be noted that Tampa is approaching the upcoming road trip after a 3:5 loss to Toronto, as well as after a crushing victory over San Jose - 8:1.

Bookmakers could not decide for sure on the favorite, which is quite natural. Vancouver had a great away series and started the home series. Tampa shows not the most stable hockey, but can count on points in the upcoming game. Based on that, we don't recommend getting into the outcomes. On average, Vancouver is scoring 6.2 goals per game, while Tampa is scoring 6.8.
