Detroit is coming to Tampa after a surprise victory over Florida. The team managed to score five goals for the reigning champion, but a day later it faces another serious challenge. The Lightning got more time to rest and have shown very high performance in recent meetings. However, the hosts' own defense also does not always cope with the rapid attacks of their opponents. In the betting tip, we will consider how important the advantage in preparation may be, and choose a bet on the match
Command Analysis
Tampa Bay Lightning
Four consecutive home wins characterize Tampa's performances on its own court quite well. John Cooper's players are able to act aggressively from the first minute, and the three of Jake Genzel, Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov regularly create dangerous moments. The confrontation with Winnipeg turned out to be especially vivid, in which the hosts scored six goals and won 6.:4. In just four of the previous five matches, the team scored at least four times, although this did not always bring the desired result.
Before the meeting with Detroit, the hockey players received several days without official games. The last time they went on the ice was in Nashville, where they lost 4-5 in shootouts. Previously, there were defeats from Colorado (3:6) and Utah (4:5 OT), so it is impossible to talk about the impeccable form of the hosts. The main difficulty lies in the number of missed pucks. However, after returning to their site, Lightning usually act more confidently, and Kucherov continues to provide his partners with good assists.
Detroit Red Wings
Detroit won 5-3 over Florida after two difficult matches in which it took a lot of effort. In Sunrise, the guests managed to take advantage of their chances and finally not lose their advantage in the final period. Justin Folk and Michael Brandsegg-Nygaard scored well, while Marco Kasper and the rest of the young hockey players actively helped in the attack. It was a particularly important success for the team after an unpleasant defeat against St. Louis.
In that meeting, the Red Wings led 4-2, but allowed their opponent to score three times in the third period and lost 4-5. A few days earlier, Detroit beat Chicago (4:1), so the offense is gradually finding its game. Lucas Raymond continues to be one of the main creators, and Viktor Arvidsson has already scored a hat-trick this season. However, now the guests will have to play their second match in two days. Against a high-speed Tampa, such a load can have a particularly strong effect in the end.
In this confrontation, the calendar can play no less a role than the state of the attack. Detroit spent a lot of effort to win in Florida, and now they will face an opponent who is able to constantly maintain a high pace. Tampa regularly uses the speed of its leading links, and this should be a serious advantage against a tired defense. In addition, the hosts had the opportunity to sort out their own mistakes after the defeat in Nashville. In terms of attack quality, they are now in no way inferior to the guests.
However, you should not completely exclude the productive game of the Red Wings. Raymond and his partners are able to organize several dangerous attacks even with little time to recover. Therefore, the key point will be how long the guests will be able to maintain their concentration near their own gates. The hosts have looked noticeably more confident in recent home matches, and we expect them to be the ones who will perform better in the decisive segments of the meeting.
