Dallas improved their performance and unexpectedly began to score five goals per game. In the first match, the “Stars” won victory with a score of 5:3 and then beat Colorado, conceding two goals – 5:2. However, in the previous meeting, the team broke the rules very often and paid twice for it. However, it demonstrated an incredible implementation of the majority and took advantage of the numerical advantage three times out of four. By the way, Alexander Radulov scored a puck and an assist in the second game. Thus, the team of Rick Bowness has not lost for five matches in the playoffs. The Stars, among other things, have improved their defensive play and are not conceding more than three goals.
Tampa Bay have earned a very important win for themselves that should inspire them. We emphasize that “Lightning” spend a lot of time in the opponent’s zone and make a large number of throws, but they still cannot take advantage of the opponent’s penalties. So, in two meetings, the Bolts had six opportunities to realize too much. For the second time in this playoffs, John Cooper’s wards have issued more than three goals per game, because they try to play with an eye to defense and not take risks once again. Note that in ten meetings the team scored 27 goals, but conceded one less goal. The big problem is that Tampa will allow the Bruins to feel comfortable on a nickel in front of Vasilevsky and the goalkeeper has no chance to react to the finishing move. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
