Tampa Bay will not allow itself to lose two in a row to Detroit, which is second-to-last in the Central Division. The Red Wings somehow won 1-0 with only 15 shots on goal through overtime before Sam Gagner scored to end an eight-round shootout. Andrei Vasilevskiy will be back in net tonight for the Lightning, and he is 30-8-1 with a 2.10 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for Tampa Bay while it was only Detroit's second win in eight games, and the Red Wings still have scored a total of just three goals their last four games. The Lightning are 55-12 their past 67 games after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game, and they have won 11 of 16 playing with no rest. Detroit is 24-49 its past 73 games on no rest. Play the Lightning.
