The third game in the NHL calendar for next Saturday will be played at 02:00 pm CST, in which Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins will clash with a big obligation of looking up for a victory. However, it’s a fact that Boston Bruins are on an urge to win as they currently aren’t even qualified for the Wild Card spots in the Eastern Conference, a performance that has been totally disappointing for their fans.
On Tampa Bay Lightning’s case, this team has been a silent but effective team in the Eastern Conference, so it cannot be taken as a big surprise to find them in the top 4 with 78 points. Additionally, it must be noted that this team scored 6 goals per game during their last 2 victories in a row, games in which Jake Guentzel was the most valuable player with 5 total goals scored.
Whereas Tampa Bay is having such a wonderful performance, Boston Bruins lost their last 3 games in a row, being worth noting that they haven’t been able to score more than 3 goals since their 4-5 overtime loss against Toronto Maple Leafs. In this matter, the Bruins aren’t expected to efficiently compete since Brad Marchand won’t be available due to an upper body injury.

Our Tampa Bay Lightning vs Boston Bruins Prediction
In conclusion, this game will definitely be one of the last real chances that Boston Bruins will have during the regular season to find some retribution after the awful results they’ve recently been collecting. Nevertheless, not having Marchand available will certainly have a negative impact on their offensive effectiveness, so Tampa Bay Lightning must try to take the initiative of this game with the quality from players like Guentzel, Kucherov and Moser. Therefore, the pick for Tampa Bay Lightning – Boston Bruins is: Total Shots On Target By Jake Guentzel – Over 2.5!
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
