Philadelphia - Tampa Bay: NHL match betting tip
On March 14, Philadelphia will host guests from Tampa on its ice. John Tortorella's men have lost five consecutive matches in regular time and intend to break this streak of setbacks. The Lightning, on the other hand, continue to fight for leadership in the Atlantic Division, but they began their guest tour with a loss in Raleigh. In November, the pilots were able to beat the lightning in Florida. How will it be this time? Read our betting tip
Command Analysis
Philadelphia Flyers
USACurrent form
The Flyers are gradually falling behind the group that is fighting to get into the playoffs. Philadelphia is in 14th place in the East and has only 62 points after 66 games. John Tortorella's men are not going to give up, but they are in terrible shape right now. The Penn State team is playing a very weak home series and lost all five matches during its course. Not so long ago, the Pilots lost to Seattle (1:4), New Jersey (1:3) and Ottawa (2:5), without showing good hockey quality.
Philadelphia can't get its offensive game right and has been scoring very little for a long time. For four consecutive matches, the hosts have not been able to score more than two goals per match, while in the previous six starts they scored nine goals. Travis Konecny remains the club's top scorer with 65 points (22+43).
Disqualifications and injuries
Ryan Ellis won't play against Tampa. Garnet Hathaway's condition is in question.
Interesting betting trends
- Flyers win 50.1% of face-offs
- The team gets an average of 7.36 minutes of penalty time.
Tampa Bay Lightning
USACurrent form
Tampa Bay was very good at the start of the new year and has significantly improved its position in the East. Now, the Florida State club has dropped to fifth place in the conference and so far cannot claim first place in the Atlantic Division. Victor Hedman's squad had a great time ending the winter, but since the beginning of March, the guests have had problems. They lost three out of five meetings and were defeated in Raleigh (1-4) at the start of the away tour, and before that they couldn't cope with Boston (0-4) on their ice.
The Lightning lost in terms of reliability and conceded 13 goals in the last three matches. Before that, they were very good and made quite a few mistakes on their half of the ice. Andrey Vasilevsky lost his former form and worsened his deflected shots to 91.78%. This season, the Russian has scored four shutouts in 51 games and has not always been flawless.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the guest leaders will come to Pennsylvania. The condition of Nikita Kucherov and Viktor Hadman is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Tampa Bay throws 29 times per game on average.
- Lightning earns 8.16 minutes of penalty time per duel.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In five of the last seven games with the Flyers, no more than one goal was scored in the first period.
1.95Bet 3rd period: Tampa will score
The Lightning scored in the third period in four out of five games.
1.37Tip and bets
Philadelphia is playing very poorly during the current home series. The Penn State team is failing defensively and not showing a strong offensive game. Tampa Bay gave up after a pretty strong stretch and is now on the decline. Viktor Hedman's squad stopped scoring, even though the visitors didn't score too many goals at the end of winter. In the first game between these teams this season, the pilots were able to score points. We think that even now they will have chances to catch on to a positive result.
Our betting tip is that Philadelphia will not lose in 1.83
Betting on an individual total
Philadelphia cannot adjust the offensive game, but now the hosts can take advantage of the weakness of the opponent's defense. Tampa has conceded 13 goals in the last three meetings. Andrey Vasilevsky lost his former form and made quite a few mistakes at the start of spring. The Flyers need to go ahead and score. We believe in at least three hits from the pilots.
Betting Tip - Philadelphia's individual total is more than 2.5 goals in 1.95
Bet on the total
Both teams are very weak on their half of the ice at this stage of the season. The first game of the season did not turn out to be productive, but now each side will intend to break the series of defeats. We believe that the teams will not sit on the defensive and will go forward from the first minute. Let's bet on the total more.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.78
