Two of the NHL Eastern Conference teams that are meant to be real contenders to battle for the championship this season are New Jersey Devils and Tampa Bay Lightning, which will face next Saturday night at 06:00 pm CST. Nevertheless, Tampa Bay is the team that will be forced to win this game as they just are 2 points above the eighth spot.
In this matter, it must be noted that New Jersey Devils have recently lost a streak of 3 games in a row shooting 30 or more times on target per game, an offensive inefficiency that recently cost them a disappointing loss against New York Rangers in overtime (3-2). In addition, it must be noted that they extended their streak of third periods without winning to 6 after that result.
On Tampa Bay Lightning’s case, this team currently has a streak of 2 victories in a row, being truly necessary to highlight that they’re the best defensive in the Eastern Conference with just 108 conceded goals throughout the season. Nonetheless, it must be remarked that they’ve only been able to shoot 2 times in their last 6 first periods, a streak that confirms their bad offensive performance during the early game.
