Tampa Bay Lightning vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction & Picks - NHL
by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks
The team that has shown the best recovery in the NHL during the most recent game weeks is Detroit Red Wings, so next Saturday at noon they’re expected to carry on with their amazing defensive performance against a very competitive team like Tampa Bay Lightning. In this regard, it’s worth noting that the gap between these teams is only 1 point, therefore a great spectacle is expected to take place at the Little Caesars Arena.
When looking deeper at Detroit Red Wings’ performance, this team holds a streak of 7 victories in a row including overtime, however they’ve only been able to win 1 out of their last 4 games in regulation time. In addition, it cannot be ignored that the Red Wings will return home after 4 away games in a row, so playing in front of their fanatics must keep players like Lucas Raymond and Alex DeBrincat fully motivated.
On Tampa Bay Lightning’s side, they were able to win their last 2 games in a row, nonetheless it must be remarked that they faced Ottawa Senators in both. With that in mind, the Lightning is definitely having so many issues to become a real contender to battle for the championship, being also worth adding that they scored 4 or more goals in only 3 out of their last 10 games.Limited Offer.
