Command Analysis
Carolina Hurricanes
USACurrent form
Carolina has had different stages during the current season and Rod Brindamore's team cannot boast of stability in terms of results. Now the team from Raleigh is on the third line in the conference and takes the second place in the Metropolitan Division. The Hurricanes have scored 80 points in 64 starts and are 12 points behind Washington, which still leads the East. After a weak start in late February, the Hurricanes recovered and won five games to six. In the current series of games at home, they have already beaten Boston (3:2) and Winnipeg (4:2).
Jordan Staal's squad plays great defense, but they have problems creating chances up front. In the last four games, the hosts conceded only six goals and were very good on their side of the ice. Frederik Andersen remains the nominal number one in the Keynes squad. The Dane has played only 13 matches this season and is conceding 2.17 goals per game.
Disqualifications and injuries
William Carrier and Jesper Fast will not play against the Lightning. The participation of Dmitry Orlov and Andrey Svechnikov is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Carolina gets 6.89 minutes of penalty time per match
- According to statistics, the hosts allow only 25 shots to be thrown at their own goal.
Tampa Bay Lightning
USACurrent form
Tampa Bay has been in the bottom of the top eight for a long time, but now the Florida State club has broken into the ranks of the conference leaders and is fighting hard for the first place in the Atlantic Division table. John Cooper's men occupy the fifth place in the East and have 78 points in their piggy bank after 63 matches. They scored four points less than Florida, but the Panthers played one more game. The Lightning took a crazy turn at the end of winter and have won 10 out of 12 games since the beginning of February. In the last home series, they confidently dealt with Columbus (6:2) and Buffalo (6:5), but unexpectedly lost to Boston (0:4).
The Lightning started to slow down a bit as a defensive player, and conceded nine goals in the last two games. In general, at this stage of the season, Viktor Hedman's squad was very good on their side of the ice and rarely allowed opponents to score a lot. Andrey Vasilevsky remains the main goalkeeper of the guests. The Russian made 91.89% of his saves and has already played 50 matches in this regular season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Maxim Groshev and Victor Hedman will not arrive in Raleigh this Wednesday.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Tampa Bay throws 28 times per game on average.
- Tampa gets 8.13 minutes of penalty time for the encounter
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In four of the last five matches against Carolina, the first period was not productive.
1.90Betting period 3: Tampa Bay will score
Tampa scored in the third period in nine out of ten games.
1.52Tip and bets
Tampa Bay was defeated in the last match, but this does not mean that now the guests will lose one meeting after another. The Lightning are still very good at this stage of the season and are making great use of their attacking chances, although they had some problems in terms of implementation against Boston. Karolina has stopped scoring a lot and rarely pleases her fans with a bright game. Yes, hurricanes are the favorites to meet in Raleigh, but lightning is capable of snagging at least one scoring point. We offer a bet on a double second chance.
Our betting tip is that Tampa Bay won't lose in 1.67
Betting on an individual total
Carolina lacks stability in attack and scores an average of 3.19 goals per game per season. Tampa Bay, on the other hand, played very strongly on defense in February and rarely conceded more than two goals per match. In previous games, lightning has lost a little in terms of reliability, but this should not take long. We believe that the Hurricanes will not be able to score more than two or three times.
Prediction - Carolina's individual total is less than three goals in 1.75
Bet on the total
A meeting in the Role is unlikely to be a decoration of the game day. Carolina plays defensively and doesn't always score many goals even on her own ice. Tampa Bay has become much more reliable in its own half of the court, which immediately affected its offensive performance. We believe that both teams will act with an eye on their possessions.
The betting tip is a total of less than six goals in 1.65
