The second half of November and the first of December went pretty well for San Jose. During this stretch of time, they achieved five victories, which slightly improved the position of the Sharks in the West table. However, the team did not win. Thus, their losing streak is already eight games in a row, as a result of which the Sharks have fallen to the penultimate position in the conference, ahead of the last Chicago by only two points.
Tampa Bay
Tampa Bay was weaker than Montreal in the last game of the past year with a score of 2:5. To be fair, the team had a back-to-back where the Lightning beat the Rangers 6:2 in the first half. Also from the recent positives - a dry victory over Florida, and on the road (4:0).
They are trying to gain a place in the cup eight, but so far they have been unsuccessful. They can only settle for seventh position with a total of 42 points in their piggy bank. Ninth-place Pittsburgh has only three points less, so the Lightning need to improve.
Expert Betting Tips
Tampa Bay is listed as the clear favorite, which is not surprising at all. The Sharks look extremely disappointing, having lost in their last eight games. The Lightning need points now, so they will not waste them in a duel with an outsider. We suggest not to make up anything and bet on a clean win for the second team.
