Prediction and betting tips

The Boston Bruins top the Western Conference in the 2022-23 season. They received 32 points in 18 games. Also, the Bruins are the most-scoring and least-conceding team in the 2022-23 NHL. They have scored 4.11 goals per match on average and have conceded only 2.06 goals on average.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have won the last four matches, but there were no strong rivals among the beaten teams. In the 2022-23 season, the Lightning were defeated by the Washington Capitals, the Oilers, the Hurricanes, the Penguins, the Rangers and many other strong rivals. They performed confidently against weaker rivals but could have played better against top teams. I believe that the Bruins will be stronger this time.
