Tampa Bay Lightning vs Calgary Flames Prediction: The Lightning are noticeably more stable

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on March 8. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Tampa Bay Lightning

Tampa Bay is not having a good season at all. Everyone is well aware that the Lightning can do much better, but at the moment, they are only fifth in the Atlantic Division standings and seventh in the overall East standings. They only have 72 points and need to improve. But the Lightning have suffered defeats in five of their eight previous meetings. The day before, after two straight losses, Tampa Bay managed to beat Montreal in a shootout (4:3).

Calgary Flames

Calgary, for its part, looks bad in this campaign. While Tampa Bay isn't doing great either, at least they are consistently in the playoff zone; the Flames are only sixth in the Pacific Division standings and 11th in the overall West standings. They only have 65 points, so their chances of making the playoffs are slim. Although Calgary recently had a streak of five wins in a row, after that, they lost to Seattle with a score of 2:4.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams do not show their maximum in the course of the season, but they still have much better looks in Tampa Bay. The thing is that Lightning is noticeably more stable, plus the day before they registered a victory. But Calgary has broken its win streak, and 2:4 with Seattle the day before can easily knock it out of the rut. Therefore, we offer a bet on the final victory of the home team (including overtime and shootout).
