This team is not living up to expectations because, in the standings of the Atlantic Division, they are in fourth position with 39 points, which is even outside the playoff zone. The Lightning urgently needs to improve. And the day before, they had a great series of three wins in a row. However, already after the break, they lost to Florida with a score of 2:3.
New York Rangers
The Rangers show a classy hockey in the current season. On the eve of the meeting, they unanimously led the standings in the Metropolitan Division and the entire East. The New Yorkers have 49 points. However, the team has been losing points lately. They have lost twice in the past four games. After a short break, the Rangers first coped with Washington with a score of 5:1, then lost to Florida (3:4).
Expert Betting Tips
We think Tampa Bay can please their fans in this meeting. The Lightning at home recently looked great - they have had four wins in five previous games, all of them were within the main time, and the opponents are serious. For the Rangers, it's the second day of back-to-back games, and they're moving. The first one ended badly with a loss to Florida. All of this should play into the Lightning's hands, so we'll take their final win (including overtime and shootout).
