Tampa Bay Lightning vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction & Picks - NHL

 by Will Chace | in NHL Picks

A Saturday matinee is the setting for a heavy-hitting Eastern Conference clash between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins (35-30-11) return to the Steel City for the first time in over a week. A 3-game winning streak during their road trip has propelled them back into wild card contention with only 6 games remaining in the regular season. Only two points separate Pittsburgh from the final playoff spot in the East, with a win over Tampa Bay possibly putting them in prime position. For the Lightning, they too hope to continue their winning ways after putting up 7 against a lowly Canadiens outfit in Montreal. Tampa Bay is 8-1-1 in their last 10 games, giving them a solid lead for the first wild card spot that will be difficult to lose. Pittsburgh’s strong home record (20-13-4) has kept them alive all season, and should play a big role on Saturday. Expect terrible towels to be in full swing in this must-see NHL game on the early slate.

Our Tampa Bay Lightning vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction

Pittsburgh has a lot to play for in this game and will leave nothing on the line in their hunt for the playoffs. Every home game is critical, and after winning 3 straight on the road, their prospects of winning again should be high. Expect a Pittsburgh team full of confidence to give the Lightning a somber trip out of Pittsburgh. Tampa Bay may also be missing Brandon Hagel and Tanner Jeannot in this one. We think the Pittsburgh Penguins should be the favorite on Saturday, so there is value. Our Tampa Bay Lightning vs Pittsburgh Penguins prediction: Pittsburgh ML at DraftKings (-105).
