Detroit has lost 16 consecutive regular-season games against Tampa Bay going back to November 2015. The Lightning won the last meeting 2-1 on Dec. 29, even though Jonathan Bernier had 37 saves for the Red Wings. The Lightning has won three of its last four games following Saturday night's 5-3 victory at Boston when Anthony Cirelli and Mikhail Sergachev scored short-handed goals in the first period as Tampa Bay got out to a 3-0 lead. Curtis McElhinney is likely in net for the Lightning, and he owns a 2.83 goals-against average. Jimmy Howard has been a disaster in goal for Detroit with a 2-23-1-1 record and 4.20 GAA. Take the Lightning.
