Tampa Bay Lightning VS Carolina Hurricanes Prediction
Tampa Bay Lightning boast a superior 37-14-4 record with 78 points and are on a 14-1-1 streak in their last 16 games post-Olympic break, outpacing Carolina's 36-15-6 despite matching points. Advanced metrics show Lightning leading league in Goals/60 (3.5, 2nd), Save % (90.5%, 2nd), and Shooting % (12.6%, 3rd), with strong Corsi/60 (59.1, 12th). Key injuries like Anthony Cirelli missing the Carolina game weaken Tampa slightly, but superior recent form, home strength (18-9-0), and elite metrics indicate a mathematical edge over Carolina.
