In the light of history, Tampa cannot afford to lose on Sunday.
Will the Rangers also celebrate in Tampa’s home cave? AOP / USA TODAY Sports
The most interesting game of the day
NY Rangers have gotten into the rather distress of double reigning Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay by winning their first two games at home.
Tampa is practically at home in the face of a forced win on Sunday, as the 0-3 loss in the NHL playoffs has only risen four times in history.
Pre-arranged, the Rangers 2-0 lead can be considered a kind of surprise, as Tampa went to the series as a 63% favorite.
The opening matches of the doubles have been special in that, statistically, Tampa has dominated both games by winning shots 39-34 and 31-28 and scoring 4.0-2.5 and 3.1-2.6, but visually the Rangers have been much sharper and better. looking.
However, the first and second matches differed in that in the latter match Tampa was already significantly closer to the Rangers level in the game, and in the end a decent church opening match was achieved compared to the loose fight boy. In this sense, the trend of the series is in the direction of Tampa.
The transfer of the home and gaming advantage to Tampa will also have a strong impact on the triple play. Tampa has won four of his five home relegation games this spring. The Rangers have similarly lost five of their seven away games. Tampa’s home advantage is given a fair weight here, even though the team didn’t actually convince Madison Square Garden.
In the assembly department of Tampa important Brayden Point gaming is still a mystery. Probably Point isn’t playing, but on the other hand, at least I wouldn’t be hugely surprised myself, even if he showed up on 21 pitches.
Always an important goalkeeper department to note that the Rangers Igor Šestjorkinilla is currently a solid neckband colleague from Tampa Andrei Vasilevsky. The defeat rates for the first two matches in the series are 94.3-85.5 in favor of Šestjorkin.
However, here too it is worth noting the importance of the home field for the performance of the goalkeepers. For Šestjorkin, the difference between home and away games in the playoffs this spring is more than five percentage points (94.8% at home and 89.4% at away) and almost four percentage points in Vasilevsky (94.3% and 90.6%). The hippie adds to Tampa’s home advantage.
In addition to the home advantage, it is worth paying attention to the stressors in the triple match. For the Rangers, the game is already in its 17th month. Tampa received flutes for more than a week before this series. The effect of the strain is likely to start at some point dropping the Rangers ’clearly better playing speed so far.
This, too, is related to the home advantage, as now the (extra) energy of the audience is not focused on the more stressed team. Playfully, the Rangers have been the better team in the series so far, but now at Amalie Arena, I think Tampa will determine the nature and tempo of the match.
Tampa – NY Rangers will begin prime time at 10:10 p.m.
The best bet of the day
Although the clues are starting to push a bit, the best game choices in the Tampa – Rangers series can still be found on Tampa’s side.
I believe the team’s improvement trend will continue now at home. In a practical forced win situation (I don’t think it will cripple an experienced team) the most tasty search is Tampa’s final win at odds of 1.64. The offer is (at the time of writing) somewhat as expected from Veikkaus’ view of this pair, the highest on the market.
At my own 60 percent estimate, it doesn’t even move far beyond the odds worth the tag tip.
