Tampa Bay is loaded with few weak spots, and are #1 in the NHL in goals scored, #12 in goals allowed and #7 in penalty killing. Tampa Bay is in bounce-back mode after getting shut out in the last game. Tampa Bay is 18-8 against the Atlantic Division and 4-1 following a loss of 3 goals or more. Detroit has been getting away with going with goalie Petr Mrazek for the most part, but the kid has little NHL experience. If he struggles, they really don't want to turn back to struggling Jimmy Howard. The Red Wings are 1-8 following a win. The Lightening dominated game one -- outshooting the Red Wings 46-14 -- but lost and took game two. Detroit is 6-11 against the Eastern Conference and 3-5 in their last eight home games, plus Tampa Bay is 8-4 in the last 12 meetings. Take Tampa Bay in game four.
