LiontipsDetroit vs Tampa Bay. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL
Command Analysis
Detroitare on the seventh line of the standings and have long ago lost the chances of getting into the playoffs because they kept losing from the start of the season and there were no glimpses of hope for them. But recently Red Wings have been putting up fights against their opponents.
The previous three out of four games of Detroit ended in overtime. Away Jeff Blashill's charges lost to Carolina with a score of 1:3, but at home suddenly beat Tampa in a penalty shootout - 1:0. The team made only 15 shots at the opponent's goal, but the goaltender Thomas Greiss saved 33 shots, giving a shutout performance.
Tampa Bay clearly did expect to lose points to Detroit, although games against this particular opponent always turn out to be difficult for Tampa, no matter what form the players are in. Now the Lightning have arrived at Little Ceasars in good spirits, having won the last four matches.
It is worth mentioning that recently they defeated Chicago (7:4) and Dallas (3:0), giving a stellar performance. In the final period of the game against Red Wings, John Cooper's men scored a goal, which was later challenged and overturned. We emphasize that this game was the third in a row this season when Tampa didn't score.

Tip and bets
We think that Detroit will give their opponents a hard time in the upcoming game, as well as they did in the previous one. Games against Red Wings are always very difficult for Tampa, therefore, most likely, even if the guests win, they will do it with a difference of one goal or in overtime.
Our first bet is Detroit to win with an Asian handicap (+1.5).
In four previous head-to-head matches out of five, Tampa couldn't cut through Detroit's defenses more than three times. In general, Red Wings haven't been conceding a lot recently. That is why we would like to place a bet on the individual total of the guests.
Second prediction - Tampa's Individual Total Under 3.5.
