2022 NHL Playoffs Odds: Tampa Bay Lightning at NY Game 4 Betting Analysis

When talking about Game 2 of this series, we spoke a little about the role that momentum shifts play during the postseason. It looked as though the New York Rangers had swallowed up all that momentum in this series after winning both games on home ice to take a 2-0 lead. You do have to wonder, though, if we are about to see another shift happen after the Tampa Bay Lightning won Game 3 in their own building. Game 4 is going to be a pivotal game in this series, as a win by the Rangers before they head back home could very much put them in the driver’s seat as they look to punch their ticket into the Stanley Cup Final. On the flipside, this thing gets down to a best-of-3 if the Lightning can win again at home. The Lightning are in as the Game 4 favorite, with the goal total set at 5 ½. That said, let’s see how both teams stack up against each other for game 4 of the Eastern Conference championship series so you can continue betting against the NHL Playoffs Odds.

Why bet on the Tampa Bay Lightning

If there is one thing that has become clear during these playoffs, specially when thinking of online betting, it’s that knocking out the defending champion is never easy. The Lightning looked dead and buried in Round 1, but down 3-2 to the Maple Leafs, they won 2 in a row to move on before sweeping the Florida Panthers in Round 2. The opening round series should show just how difficult they are to beat, so you can bet that no one is counting out the Lightning just yet. Where they have been particularly good is getting on a streak, as they have now gone 5-1 SU in their last 6 games following a win. They have also now won 7 of their last 9, although the 2 losses came to the Rangers. The UNDER has hit in 7 of their last 8 overall, as well as hitting in each of the last 4 games where the Lightning came off a day’s rest. The

Why bet on the New York Rangers

If we are going to talk about a team that is tough to take out, then we need to talk about the New York Rangers. In Round 1, they found themselves in a 1-3 hole to the Pittsburgh Penguins before winning 3 in a row. They were in a similar spot in Round 2, down 3-2 to the Carolina Hurricanes, a team that was unbeaten on home ice in the playoffs, before going on the road and winning Game 7. They have had some real success versus teams from the Atlantic Division, winning 22 of their last 28 meetings with those teams. On the downside, though, they are 1-6 in their last 7 games as a road underdog. The UNDER has hit in 8 of their last 10 games as a road underdog.

Expert Pick and Final Score Prediction

From the start, I thought we were looking at a longer series, so I would not be surprised to see the Lightning tie this thing up on Tuesday night. I like them to take a close one and am going with the UNDER.
