Detroit Red Wings vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction & Betting Tips - NHL
by Joseph King | in NHL Predictions
The Tampa Bay Lightning travel to Detroit to take on the Red Wings at the Little Caesars Arena for this NHL Atlantic matchup on Wednesday. Stanley Cup finalists Tampa Bay are sitting third in the division with 20 wins, 10 losses and one overtime loss, putting them on 41 points and 11 points behind leaders Boston. The Bolts will be looking to bounce back in this game after having their five game winning streak snapped in a 4-1 loss to Toronto last night. They’ll now have to deal with playing a back-to-back on the road for the third of a four game away trip. while their opponents will have a one day rest advantage over them.
On the other side is a Red Wings team in desperate need of a win as they find themselves quickly sinking down the standings. Detroit has dropped to sixth-place in the Atlantic division with 13 wins, 11 defeats and seven overtime losses to give them 33 points, eight behind their opponents today. The Red Wings last game was a 4-3 overtime loss to the Capitals meaning that the hosts have now lost six consecutive games coming into this contest. Detroit has simply been unable to put the puck in the net on a consistent basis and have now only managed to score 10 total goals during this current six game losing run. Things won’t get any easier for the Red Wings here, as they face a Lightning team that ranks sixth in the NHL in terms of average goals given up per game at 2.78.

Our Detroit Red Wings vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction
With two teams heading in very different directions, we could be in for a lower scoring game here given how these teams match up and their respective form. Tampa Bay have been excellent on the defensive side in recent weeks, regularly holding their opponents to just one or two goals. Meanwhile, Detroit has struggled with their scoring and are averaging just 1.66 goals per game over their recent six game losing streak. Therefore, our pick for the Detroit Red Wings vs Tampa Bay Lightning is under 6.5 total goals.
