Vegas vs Tampa Bay Prediction: the Visitors to Recover

Prediction for the NHL Vegas Golden Knights vs Tampa Bay Lightning match, which will take place on February 19th. The hosts have a streak of four wins in a row - will the visitors end it? Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Vegas looks excellent this season. Before the game, the Golden Knights were second in the Western Conference standings and led the Pacific Division with 70 points. However, their pursuers are very close, so there are no points to lose. The team understands that, and they go undefeated for four wins in the main time. However, their opponents were far from being the top ones - 5-1 over Nashville and Minnesota, 7-2 over Anaheim, and 2-1 over San Jose.

Tampa Bay is also on a decent run this campaign. They have 73 points, sitting only sixth in the Eastern standings. And they are third in the Atlantic Division standings - most importantly, the playoff spot isn't in jeopardy. As for the Lightning's last meetings, they lost after beating Colorado (5-0), Dallas (3-1), and again Colorado (4-3). Tampa Bay sensationally lost to modest Arizona in a 0-1 shootout.

We think Tampa Bay will be stronger in this meeting. The Lightning is more stable against the Golden Knights - they have a smooth season, while Vegas has ups and downs. Yes, the hosts have won four games in their previous outings, but their opponents have not been top ones either. But the visitors urgently need to recover from an embarrassing blowout loss to Arizona, and they can do it.
