LiontipsTampa vs Detroit. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (March 5, 2022).
Command Analysis
Tampa Bay were on a five-game winning streak, but in the last fixture they suffered a crushing defeat to Pittsburgh. The Lightning's defensive line was completely unreliable, and goalie Vasilevsky couldn't cope with the powerful attack of the Pens. He saved only 90% of shots on his goal.
The Lightning lately have been experiencing difficulties when playing against powerful opponents. For example, they recently lost to Vegas (2:3 SO) and Colorado (2:3).
Detroit are in good form and have delivered impressive performance in their recent games. The Red Wings prevailed over the Rangers (3:2 SO) and Carolina (4:3 ОТ), but suffered a defeat in a barnburner against Toronto (7:10). They also failed to put up a fight against Colorado (2:5).

Tip and bets
Tampa will be looking for redemption today. Detroit aren't a particularly consistent team, and we don't think they will be able to defeat a very motivated Tampa outfit.
Our prediction - handicap (-1.5) to Tampa
Considering the high performance of both sides and Detroit's poor defensive play, we are predicting a high-scoring game here.
Second wager - total over 6 goals
