Analysis and forecast for the match NHL Anaheim Ducks – Tampa Bay Lightning (03/25/2024)
The NHL regular season is coming to an end. Some teams are already known that will definitely not participate in the Stanley Cup. On March 25, one of them, the Anaheim Ducks, will host the Tampa Bay Lightning at the Honda Center. The first confrontation will take place at 15:30 Moscow time.
Russian derby:
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova – Ekaterina Alexandrova. The meeting will be short.
Many expected more from Anaheim, given the good start to the season they had. However, the calls turned out to be fake. The Ducks still failed. They occupy second-to-last place in the Pacific Division standings.
In the last eight games, Greg Cronin’s team only defeated Chicago (4-0), which is doing even worse. In all other matches they were defeated in regulation time. During this period, Anaheim scored only 11 goals and conceded 35.
The Ducks traded some hockey players to other clubs and had the opportunity to recruit promising youngsters in the draft. It turns out that they calmly finish the season and gradually prepare for the next one. What else can be done if the path to the playoffs is closed?
Tampa Bay is completely different. After a terrible start to the season, they hit a great stride and sit firmly in fourth place in the Atlantic Division standings. The difference with Toronto is very big, but it seems that nothing is impossible for the Lightning.
Luciano is making improvements to the team:
Italy-Ecuador. Spalletti is on the right track
Recently the team has been reinforced with two quality players. The newcomers instantly became “one of us.” Notably, thanks to his efforts, Tampa has won five of its last six games in regulation. Although most of the rivals were from the top of the NHL summary table: Philadelphia (7-0), Rangers (6-3), Florida (5-3) and Vegas (5-3). The Club also beat San José (4-1). Lost to Los Angeles (3:4 overtime).
Nikita Kucherov scored points in all six games. His scoring streak now extends to 13 straight games. In just 69 games, the Russian scored 41 goals and provided 82 assists. He ranked fourth fastest by reaching 120 points between the extremes.
Kucherov became the first Russian to spend two seasons with more than 120 points. He also set a Tampa record for most games with 4+ assists in a season (four games). Only one active hockey player has more such games: Connor McDavid (five).
Ovechkin will add:
Washington-Winnipeg. The playoffs are just around the corner
Nikita goes to the Hart Trophy and the Art Ross Trophy, and also drags the team into the playoffs. The upcoming game appears to be an excellent opportunity for Kucherov to improve his own scoring record. To upgrade it, the attacker needs to score seven points.
You can bet that Tampa Bay will win and the total will be over 5.5 goals at odds of 2.55. In 70 games, Anaheim allowed up to 252 goals, one of the worst records in the league. There is nothing to add. The Ducks have absolutely no strength on defense.
Prediction and bets for the NHL game Anaheim – Tampa Bay on March 25, 2024
Anaheim is probably less motivated than Tampa Bay. Basically, the season for the Ducks is already over. Cronin has no qualms about experimenting. The results are appropriate. El Rayo, on the other hand, is focused on the fight to reach the playoffs. Thanks to the exchanges, they made huge profits. And Kucherov is absolutely unstoppable.
Tender: Tampa Bay victory and total of more than 5.5 goals in 2.55.
