Two of the most competitive teams in the Eastern Conference like Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs will clash next Wednesday at 05:00 pm CST with the clear objective of winning to ensure keeping within the top 4 of the Conference, spots that could provide them with an advantage for the playoffs. In this regard, playing their second consecutive away game in less than 24 hours will be a very difficult challenge that could prepare them for the playoffs.

With that in mind, it isn’t surprising to have Tampa Bay Lightning as the big favorite to win according to the bookmakers’ odds, however their recent losses against Ottawa Senators and Buffalo Sabres are a clear symptom of irregularity that must be eradicated just before the playoffs begin. Most of that process must be managed by their head coach, who must implement offensive tactics like those used during their victory over NY Rangers (1-5).

Meanwhile, Toronto Maple Leafs lost a streak of 4 victories in a row after their 3-1 loss against Florida Panthers, a result that have the Maple Leafs under big pressure to avoid losing the second spot of the Eastern Conference, as well as the Divisional championship. Another important fact to note is that they conceded more than 3 goals for the first time since their 6-5 overtime loss to San Jose Sharks.
