Next Wednesday night is expected to bring a fantastic spectacle, as the NHL calendar will open its activities with a confrontation that features the clash between the New York Rangers and the Tampa Bay Lightning. For this game, even though the bookies’ odds made the Lightning favorites, it must be noted that the Rangers will be highly motivated after conquering their first home win of the season some days ago.

With the playoffs in mind, the New York Rangers must take advantage of that momentum to bring their best possible level to Tampa Bay, as they will be able to reach the Eastern Conference playoff spots by winning this game. In this matter, it’s worth noting that the Rangers have performed better when playing away from home this season, so Artemi Panarin, Alexis Lafreniere, and Mika Zibanejad are expected to cause struggle in the Lightning.

Despite this, the Tampa Bay Lightning are also having very positive momentum that allowed them to win four of their last five games. However, they still need to increase their scoring ratio because they currently don’t have any players who have reached the ten-goal line this season, but that hasn’t been an obstacle to defeating very competitive teams like the Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars.

Our New York Rangers vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction
