Premium Pick

Tampa Bay shut out Detroit 3-0 on Saturday night as Andrei Vasilevskiy had 45 saves and Brayden Point had a goal and an assist for the Lightning, who pulled out the victory while being outshot 45-18. It will likely be Brian Elliott in net for this game, but that is not much of a dropoff as he is 9-3-2 with a 2.90 goals-against average and he comes off a 26-save performance against Arizona on Feb. 15 although his team suffered a 1-0 shootout loss. Pittsburgh had lost four straight before defeating St. Louis 3-2 in overtime last night with Tristan Jarry in goal for the Penguins. Casey DeSmith is expected tonight and he has a 10-12-4 record and 3.28 GAA. Tampa Bay is 50-23 after allowing two or fewer goals its previous game and the Penguins have lost four straight playing on no rest and they are 6-21 versus teams with .600 winning percentages. Take the Lightning.
