Ottawa Senators vs. Tampa Bay Lightning Predictions

The Tampa Bay Lightning are looking to bounce back from a recent loss and climb higher in the Eastern Conference standings. With a record of 30-21-5, they sit sixth in the conference and are coming off a tough defeat. The Lightning’s offense is spearheaded by the prolific Nikita Kucherov, who has amassed an impressive 94 points this season, and they’ll be relying on his continued production. Tampa Bay’s power play has been a significant asset, converting at a league-best rate of 30.2%, which could be a key factor in this game.

On the other side, the Ottawa Senators, with a record of 22-27-2, find themselves at the bottom of the Eastern Conference but have shown signs of promise in recent games. The Senators are led by their captain, Brady Tkachuk, who has been a consistent offensive threat with 25 goals to his name. Tim Stutzle has also been a standout, leading the team with 49 points. Ottawa’s recent improvement on the power play, converting three of their last 11 opportunities, suggests they could challenge the Lightning’s defense.

This game could come down to key player matchups and special teams performance. The Senators will need to contain Kucherov and the Lightning’s top scorers, while Tampa Bay must be wary of Ottawa’s top line, especially in power play situations. With both teams eager to claim a victory, this Eastern Conference battle is poised to be an exciting contest filled with strategic plays and standout performances from key players.

Ottawa Senators vs. Tampa Bay Lightning Pick

The Tampa Bay Lightning, despite their recent loss, have shown a strong ability to bounce back and dominate on home ice, boasting an 18-6-3 record at the Amalie Arena. With the Lightning’s top-tier power play unit and Nikita Kucherov’s exceptional scoring prowess, they have the offensive firepower to overcome the Senators’ defense. Additionally, the Lightning’s historical performance against the Senators, particularly at home, gives them an edge, as they have won the majority of their recent matchups in Tampa. Considering these factors, the Lightning’s moneyline bet offers a promising pick for this game.

While the Ottawa Senators have improved their play and have a potent power play unit of their own, the Lightning’s overall depth and experience in high-stakes games should prevail. The Senators’ road record this season has been less than stellar, and facing a determined Lightning squad aiming to solidify their playoff position presents a significant challenge. Given the odds, recent trends, and the Lightning’s resilience and home-ice advantage, placing a moneyline bet on Tampa Bay is the strategic choice for this Eastern Conference clash.

The Pick: Tampa Bay Lightning -156. (FanDuel)
