Tampa Bay Lightning Form
Tampa Bay head to the ‘Motor City’ looking to rebound from their third defeat of the season so far.
The Lighting opened up the campaign with back-to-back home games, but failed to take advantage of that.
They kicked things off with a 5-4 loss to Ottawa, and then suffered a 5-3 defeat at the hands of New Jersey.
Tampa Bay finally got off the mark when they began this road trip with a 4-3 victory in Boston, but they were unable to back that up.
The Lightning moved on to Washington after that victory and fell to a 3-2 overtime defeat against the Capitals.
Detroit Red Wings Form
Detroit go into this matchup having responded to an opening-night loss with three consecutive wins.
The Red Wings kicked off the 2025/26 with back-to-back home games, but only managed to win one of them.
They dropped their opener to Montreal 5-1, but responded with a 6-3 success when Toronto came to town.
Detroit then backed up that victory when they followed the Maple Leafs north of the border for the rematch, running out 3-2 winners.
The Red Wings made it three-in-a-row on Wednesday, as they returned home to take down defending champions Florida, 4-1.
Verdict
Detroit have form on their side and just knocked off the champs in impressive fashion.
They have also won five of the last seven meetings with the out-of-form Lightning, so give us the Red Wings and the plus-money.
