Teams have met twice this year. In the first match the victory in pure time went to Carolina (3:2) and in the second meeting, Tampa took revenge, however, they did it in overtime (4:3).
Carolina Hurricanes
The Carolinas had a strong run last season, finishing second in the Eastern Conference standings with 116 points. In the playoffs, the Hurricanes only reached the quarterfinals, where they lost to the Rangers in a tough fight with a final score in the series 3:4. During the transfer window, the Hurricanes strengthened their experienced players, trading Brent Burns from San Jose and Max Pacioretti from Vegas. Also, forward Kashe, who played in Toronto, joined the camp of the team.
Tampa Bay
Tampa failed to compete for a leading position in the East, taking only fifth place. But this did not prevent the team from again showing positive results in the playoffs, reaching the final without any problems, where they had to meet with Colorado. Still, the Lightning failed to win the Stanley Cup for the third time in a row, losing in the series (2:4). In the off-season, the Lightning tried to keep the main backbone by extending contracts with Sergachev, Chernak and Cirelli. True, because of the salary cap, Pallat had to be parted, as well as with the defenders Makedonna and Rutta. More todays NHL predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
Prediction
Our expert pick:
Both teams were able to keep the main backbone of the players, so they won't have to play again. The Carolinas will begin pre-season training at home, where they have a great opportunity to please the fans and beat Tampa. The Lightning decided to save on defense, which could lead to problems. So far it is difficult to say how the guests will show themselves in the upcoming match, but we believe more in the victory of the Hurricanes, since the team will play in their own stands, where they have been regularly beating the Lightning recently. Our prediction is the victory of "Carolina" with a handicap (0) for 1.75 in BC 1xBet. Both teams have a solid defense and with great rarity allow their opponents to realize their attacking potential. It is worth paying attention to face-to-face matches, in which clubs do not always please the fans with an open game. We believe that it is not worth waiting for a large number of goals in the upcoming match, but it is better to make a choice in favor of the total less. The second prediction is for the total under 6.5 goals for 1.71. Place a bet with
