Game Overview and Team Records
The Tampa Bay Lightning enter tonight’s matchup sitting 3rd in the Atlantic Division with a solid 13-7-2 record. They have been formidable on home ice, boasting a 7-5-0 record at Benchmark International Arena. They are coming off a confident 3-0 shutout victory against the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday, which should give goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy plenty of confidence.
On the other side, the Calgary Flames are looking to find consistency. They currently hold an 8-13-3 record, placing them 8th in the Pacific Division. However, they are riding a wave of momentum after a decisive 5-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday. Road games have been a struggle for Calgary this season (4-9-1), and snapping the Bolts’ defense will be a tall order.
Leading Scorers (2025-26 Season):
- Tampa Bay Lightning: The offense is powered by Nikita Kucherov, who leads the team with 25 points. Jake Guentzel has been a sniper, netting 12 goals, while Brandon Hagel has contributed 22 points.
- Calgary Flames: Veteran Nazem Kadri is steering the ship with 18 points (4 goals, 14 assists). Youngster Matt Coronato is having a breakout campaign with 8 goals, and defenseman Rasmus Andersson has chipped in 16 points from the blue line.
Key Injuries: Both teams are dealing with significant absences. The Lightning blue line is battered, with Erik Cernak (week-to-week), Ryan McDonagh (IR), and Victor Hedman (IR) all sidelined. Forward Brayden Point is also listed as questionable. The Flames are missing rookie Zayne Parekh (upper body) and forward Martin Pospisil (undisclosed), while Samuel Honzek remains on IR.
Prediction and Betting Insight
The betting markets have the Lightning as heavy home favorites at -185, with the Over/Under set at 5.5 goals.
Personally, looking at the depleted Tampa defense, I think this game is closer than the odds suggest. While Vasilevskiy can steal a game on his own, missing three key defensemen including Hedman is a massive blow. That said, Calgary’s road record is hard to trust. I expect a tighter, lower-scoring affair where Tampa’s depth forwards grind out a result.
I’m leaning toward the Lightning winning 3-2, but I would stay away from the moneyline at that price and perhaps look at the Under 5.5, anticipating a goalie duel.
