Tampa Bay Islanders: NHL match betting tip
The match between Tampa and the Islanders will take place on March 29. The Lightning had been showing their best lately and had saved many fights for themselves, while the islanders were on a long series of setbacks. However, just a month and a half ago, the teams met, and then the islanders celebrated their success in a hard-fought battle. Is it worth betting on the success of a formal favorite? You will learn about this from the betting tip
Command Analysis
Tampa Bay Lightning
USACurrent form
Tampa Bay remains in the top five of the Eastern Conference and now has 89 points in its asset. The team is having a very good season, although it rarely has a long winning streak. However, in fights with outsiders and average players, as a rule, the club succeeds without any problems.
Note that in the final two meetings, the Lightning celebrated Victoria. After unsuccessful matches against Utah (4:6) and Vegas (2:4) on the road, they pulled themselves together and, with the support of the home stands, dealt with Pittsburgh (6:1), and then literally defeated Utah with a score of 8:0. It is noteworthy that in the last confrontation they hit the opponent's goal. There were 21 shots in total, but they had great chances that day.
And John Cooper's team usually demonstrates great performance on their ice and, on average, opens up the opponents' defenses at least three or four times. The team is most powerful in the first period, in which it has a 78:53 ratio in goals scored and conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
At the moment, Tampa is not experiencing any problems with the roster.
Interesting betting trends
- Tampa wins 50.5% of face-offs
- Lightning makes an average of 29 shots on target per match.
New York Islanders
USACurrent form
The Islanders are still outside the playoff zone, but they were able to improve their position. Now they are literally one point away from the coveted eight, so if they win the upcoming match, they can be in it again. We emphasize that recently the team has been exclusively replacing successful series with a series of defeats.
Now we can say that the club is in bad shape, as it has not been able to win in the last three meetings. So, after a tense match against Montreal (4:3 OT), the islanders lost at home to Calgary (3:4 OT) and could not cope with Columbus (3:4 B), and in the confrontation with Vancouver they lost 2-5 without getting a single point.
We would like to emphasize that Patrick Roy's squad quite often experiences difficulties with performance on foreign grounds and rarely fails to score even two goals in matches with opponents in the playoff zone. By the way, she still plays mediocre in the minority and currently has only 72.3% neutralization of the majority of the opponent.
Disqualifications and injuries
Varlamov and Barzal will not take part in the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Islanders receive 5.44 minutes of penalty time per match
- According to statistics, the Islanders win 54.4% of face-offs.

1.85The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the hosts
In the previous meeting, the hosts saved the second period with a score of 4:0.
2.05Tip and bets
Tampa, in our opinion, must succeed in the upcoming confrontation. The lightning, having returned to the home court, began to show incredible results and smash opponent after opponent. The Islanders play pretty mediocre on the road and usually lose to powerful opponents during regular time. Moreover, the Bolts perfectly remember the defeat by the islanders and will try to do everything to ensure that their fans are satisfied this time.
Prediction - Tampa wins in 1.70
Betting on an individual total
Tampa had managed with the minimum number of goals conceded in previous matches, and in the last match did not allow the opponent to score even once. The Islanders rarely score more than two goals on the road. Last time, by the way, they only opened the lightning defense twice.
We're betting on the Islanders' individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.70
Bet on the total total
The last three matches between the clubs were not particularly spectacular and took place with less than seven goals scored. Tampa does not claim a large number of goals in matches with the Islanders and tries to play as reliably as possible in defense. The islanders, on the whole, rely on indoor hockey, so we suggest betting less on total.
We take a total of less than 6.5 goals for 1.55
