Command Analysis
Tampa Bay Lightning
USACurrent form
Tampa Bay has completed a three-match away series, which turned out to be far from the most successful. The team managed to win only one victory over Dallas, and then it snatched it with great difficulty in a shootout (3:2). In the remaining meetings, serious defensive problems arose, which led to defeats from Utah (4-6) and Vegas (2-4). Both goalkeepers showed their worst side: Vasilevsky and Harvelson, who temporarily replaced Johansson.
As expected, upon returning to the home arena, the Lightning immediately rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans and began to regain their lost points. The team hosted Pittsburgh and gave it no chance, defeating it with a score of 6:1. Already in the first period, the lightning scored four goals and did not allow the Penguins to catch on to the comeback. In addition to striker Kucherov, it is also worth noting the entire defensive line as a whole, since in three periods the opponent made only 15 shots. It is worth noting that the slight decline did not affect the club's position in the Eastern Conference table, it continues to remain on the fifth line, lagging behind the third position by only two points.

Johansson is back in action, and only Chernak remains in the infirmary.

Utah Hockey Club
USACurrent form
Utah held a three-match home series. A series of performances began very successfully, and in the very first match they managed to defeat Buffalo with a score of 5:2. The entire attacking line showed a great game, and defender Sergachev scored a double. Turigny's wards were able to consolidate their success in a duel with a much more serious competitor in the face of Tampa Bay. Once again, the attacking line realized its full potential, using almost every opportunity, which allowed it to win a landslide victory (6:4). Cooley and Schmaltz were the most productive, scoring three points each.
It seemed that due to such a well-rounded form, the club would cope with Detroit without any problems, but instability again made itself felt. The meeting turned out to be completely inactive, as a result, the hosts suffered a defeat with a score of 1:5. The goalkeeper of Weimelk blocked only nine shots. At the moment, Utah occupies only the 11th place in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the playoff zone is only growing and already stands at eight points.

Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Tampa Bay is characterized by an active game and practically does not sit on the defensive. Utah does not have a strong defense, so we choose total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.77
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Tampa Bay, due to its significant superiority over its opponent, will begin to create pressure on Utah from the very start of the match. It is unlikely that the guests will hold back the pressure, which means that the lightning will gain an advantage already in the starting segment.
