Tampa Bay had its five-game win streak snapped in a 4-1 loss to Toronto last night, but the Lightning will bounce back tonight against Detroit, which has hit the skids losing its last six games, including 4-3 in overtime against Washington on Monday. Ville Husso will be in net for the Red Wings and they have lost his past four starts. Husso has allowed nine goals his last two outings. Brian Elliott is probable for Tampa Bay and he is 7-1-0 with a 3.10 goals-against average. The Lightning are in revenge mode after losing 4-2 to Detroit on Dec. 6 and they are 37-18 playing with no rest and 98-29 after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game. The road team has won five of the past six meetings and the Lightning are 11-3 the past 14 meetings at Detroit. Take the Lightning.
