Tampa Bay Lightning vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction & Picks - NHL
by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks
The NHL Eastern Conference will offer a very interesting game to be disputed next Sunday, January 12th when Pittsburgh Penguins receive Tampa Bay Lightning at 04:00 pm CST. This game is expected to be one of the most even in the schedule, not only because Tampa Bay has been suffering a lot to find consistency, but also because Pittsburgh will be forced to win this game to remain competitive.
However, the offensive rhythm for the first period is expected to be very slow as both teams played less than 24 hours before the kickoff of this game, being relevant to note that Pittsburgh Penguins were totally obliterated by Ottawa Senators (0-5). Additionally, it has to be mentioned that Pittsburgh was only able to score more than 3 goals in regulation time in only 1 out of their last 5 games.
Meanwhile, Tampa Bay Lightning lost their streak of 2 victories in a row after their most recent overtime loss against New Jersey Devils (3-2), a result that directly impacted on their playoffs’ qualification as they are now just 1 point above the eighth spot. Also, they are totally stuck, because they’ve a 6 points gap against Florida Panthers, making it very difficult for them to escalate some positions.
