TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING VS. NEW JERSEY DEVILS – 10/30/2019 FREE PICK & NHL BETTING PREDICTION

It’s an Eastern Conference showdown on Wednesday night.

In this game the Tampa Bay Lightning make the trip to the Prudential Center to take on the New Jersey Devils. The Lightning have won the last five games played between the two teams.

Tampa Bay Lightning

The Tampa Bay Lightning haven’t played terrible to start the season, but with the expecations that were surronding them, this hasn’t been good enough. This has been a great offensive team averaging only 3.3 goals per game.

That number seems high but for a team with all the goal scoring weapons, they have they can’t feel great about how they have performed.

In this game it’s going to be about getting out to a fast start. The Lightning are playing in a back to back and getting out to a slow start it’s going to be hard to win.

New Jersey Devils

On the other side of this matchup is the New Jersey Devils who haven’t had a great start to the season but they come into this game having won two of the last three games.

On the season the Devils offense has struggled to average only 2.4 goals per game and against the Lightning, that type of offense might not work.
