Arizona Coyotes vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction: Can the Lightning deal with the Coyotes?

Prediction for the NHL Arizona Coyotes vs Tampa Bay Lightning match, which will take place on February 16. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Arizona has been showing terrible hockey this season, which is no surprise. The Coyotes are in 14th place in the West, playing at their own pace. They're not likely to make the playoffs. Right now, the team has only 44 points. But we should give them some credit - in six meetings in a row, they are not losing in regulation time. Arizona has three wins and three losses in three periods. In the previous game, the team unexpectedly beat Nashville with a score of 4:2.

Tampa Bay improved throughout the campaign to move up to fourth place in the Western Conference standings. And they are second in the Atlantic Division standings with 72 points. The Lightning will contend for the Stanley Cup this season. Also, note that they now have three wins in a row. First, Tampa Bay beat Colorado (5:0), then Dallas (3:1), and then again Colorado, but in the shootout with a score of 4:3.

There is no question that Arizona has improved of late. However, in the six games they haven't lost in regulation time, they haven't faced any openly top opponents. Tampa Bay is next, and they've made three straight victories. So we suggest not to make anything up here as well, betting on a win for the guests.
