Tampa Bay Lightning vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction: We won't bury Pittsburgh

Prediction for the NHL Tampa Bay Lightning vs Pittsburgh Penguins match will occur on March 26. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Tampa Bay Lightning

Tampa Bay still can't find stability. That's been the Lightning's main problem all season. They can have a couple of great games and then lose a few in a row without putting up a fight. The Lightning have been feverish lately - after three losses, they had three wins and two more losses. The day before, they beat Utah 6-4 and Vegas 4-2. Tampa Bay is fifth in the East standings with 85 points.

Pittsburgh Penguins

Against all odds, Pittsburgh has started to pick up points. In their last seven games, the Penguins have done so six times - five wins, a shootout loss to Florida the night before (4-3), and a regulation loss to the Islanders (4-2). Such an impressive run of form means Mike Sullivan's men are still in with a chance of claiming the East's wild-card spot, even if it does look fantastic. Although Pittsburgh is 14th in the standings, they have 69 points, just six shy of the top eight.
