Match prediction
Tampa Bay is in an excellent form and scores a lot of goals. Nevertheless, the defense of hosts isn’t ideal, the main goalkeeper is injured.
For Boston which is playing awfully away matches, the loss of Vasilevskiy will become the great opportunity to score at least couple of pucks.
We think that the hosts won’t lose and not less than five goals will be thrown for this match.
