THE INSIDERS ROOM'S 10* PUCK-LINE 'SLAP-SHOT!'
(NHL) Detroit vs. Tampa Bay,
Point Spread: 1.50 | 127.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* PUCK-LINE SLAP-SHOT on the Red Wings.

The Lightning destroyed Detroit 5-1 in their last outing.

Detroit is 2-7, its only two wins have come at home over Chicago.

I think Tampa comes out complacent here finally though, and it gets caught looking ahead to three whole nights off, before a four-game road trip at Nashville and Florida.

Detroit has some talent. Thomas Greiss is 0-6-2 with a respectable 2.99 GAA given the circumstances. Calvin Pickard is now the backup. Tyler Bertuzzi has five goals and three other players have four goals.

Detroit is also 5-2 in its last seven after allowing five or more goals in a four goals or greater loss to an opponent in its last outing.

I'm looking for the Wings to keep this one competitive late.

Good luck, NP
