The NHL Atlantic Division will offer one of the most attractive games of the season next Tuesday, January 14th as Boston Bruins will host the game against Tampa Bay Lightning at 06:00 pm CST. These teams are very close to each other in the standings; however they’ve shown an opposite offensive level throughout the season, and that explains the favoritism that Tampa Bay has for this game according to the bookmakers’ odds.
In this matter, Boston Bruins have recently cut a streak of 6 losses in a row after their most recent overtime victory over Florida Panthers (3-4), being relevant to note that they scored more than 3 goals in 4 out of their last 10 games. Nonetheless, they still keep as the worst offensive line in the Atlantic Division with 116 scored goals, a trend that would have been different if David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand’s performance have been more effective with their shots on target during the season.
Meanwhile, Tampa Bay Lightning are just 2 points above the Bruins, a gap that looks very short when comparing their offensive line performance with Boston. Even though they won 3 out of their last 4 games, victories in which they were able to score 3 or more goals per game. In addition, it must be noted that the Lightning positively remarks as the best defensive in the Atlantic Division with just 113 conceded goals.
