Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Anaheim Ducks: Odds, Lines, Picks, and Predictions - October 26, 2022 | NHL Regular Season

The Tampa Bay Lightning and Anaheim Ducks will close out this Wednesday's slate of games.

The Lightning have not played like the three-time reigning Eastern champions that they are. Tampa Bay opened the season with a 3 - 4 record, and while they have faced some tough opponents, a team of their caliber should not be a game over .500.

Anaheim is defying the tiny expectations set for them this year. They have won one of their first six games. They defeated the Kraken in their home opener and have lost every game since. Maybe returning to the pond after that five-game road trip is all the Ducks need to put them back in the win column.

Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Anaheim Ducks Best Picks

John Gibson should be in the net as his team faces off against the Eastern Conference Champions. He recorded the Ducks' only win of the season and has been shaky ever since.

Luckily for bettors, this does allow for a great prop opportunity. Anaheim's defense has been horrid. Opponents have been allowed unlimited shots on net. Saves by the Anaheim goalie is an excellent play in this one.

Both teams are starved for a win. There should be plenty of offense in this one, the over is an ideal move for bettors tonight.

Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Anaheim Ducks Prediction

One of two things is going to happen tonight. The Ducks are going to straighten things out now that they are back at home, or the Lightning will find themselves back on the winning track with an easy win against the aquatic Southern Californians.

It's more likely the Ducks will have a little more pep in their game, having slept in their own beds and being back on their home ice. There is a chance the Lightning will come out strong, but with Brian Elliot likely in goal, the Ducks should pull out the win.
