The Tampa Bay vs. Florida match will be held at Amalie Arena as part of the next game day of the NHL championship. Let’s evaluate both teams and try to predict the outcome of this game.
Tampa Bay Lightning
Tampa Bay lost in two matches in a row against Dallas (3: 4 OT) and Washington (1: 3), but note that in both cases it gave an excellent rebuff to strong opponents. The Lightning is now waiting for a series of three home matches, so they probably plan to obtain the maximum number of points. The team can do this since all opponents are comfortable and passable for it. Cooper’s men occupy the 11th line of the Eastern Conference.
Florida Panthers
Florida, on the opposite, was able to prevail in three meetings in a row and stays in great shape. The team plays well in the offence and scores at least four goals. So, Panthers managed to deal with Ottawa (6: 1), Dallas (7: 4) and even beat Carolina (4: 2) on the road. But it is necessary to remember that in general, on the road, the team of Joel Quenneville shows not the best results, and won only three out of 15 matches in regular time.
Tampa Bay Lightning vs Florida Panthers prediction
Tampa has won the past eight out of nine matches against Florida. Tampa feels comfortable in games with teams that promote an open style of hockey. It is easy for the Lightning to play and create chances at the opponent’s goal, and given the fact that Florida is not so perfect with the defence on the road, the hosts can get two points in regular time.
