Vancouver continues to work miracles. So, in the last game, they took points away from Carolina. The match was even, but the Whales outscored their opponent in the number of shots on goal, which played an important role - 4:3. A game earlier, the Canucks beat Minnesota, scoring two unanswered pucks. As for Vancouver's position in the NHL tables, they are fighting for leadership with Vegas. At the moment, the difference between the rivals is six points.

Against the background of their rival, Tampa Bay does not look so cheerful. The team is only fighting for a place in the playoff zone, being in ninth place in the Eastern Conference and behind the superior Islanders regarding goal differential (-7 vs. -5). It's also worth noting that the Lightning approach the game with the Canucks after a 3:1 win over Pittsburgh, a crushing defeat to Nashville (1:5), and a 4:3 overtime victory over Seattle.

It's pretty hard to decide on a favorite in this pairing. Vancouver is superior to its opponent in almost every aspect, but Tampa plays many star names that can put the Whales in position. Based on that, we think it's better to bet on the goals. The Canucks average 6.4 goals per game, while the Lightning average 6.6. Also, let's add that Vancouver has the first-rate in the West for the TO (6.5) bet. In general, we suggest not to make up anything and bet on goals.
