8* play on the Red Wings.

The Detroit Red Wings got right back in the series with a 2-0 win in Game 3, but Tampa won another close one in Game 4, putting Detroit on the ropes once again. We saw these teams play a seven game series last year, and I don't think this one is over quite yet.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - Detriot didn't have any trouble winning in Tampa last year, winning two of the four games in the series. They won Game 5 at Amalie Arena by a score of 4-0

2. Close Games - Detroit had out-shot Tampa Bay in each of the first two games of the series, but it dominated the shots with a 30-16 advantage in Sunday's win. The Lightning's lack of health is catching up with them as they're playing without both Steven Stamkos and standout defenseman Anton Stralman.

3. X-Factor - Petr Mrazek got the nod between the pipes ahead of Jimmy Howard Sunday after the latter tended the net in the first two games of the series. After a shutout in Game 3 and a solid performance in a losing effort in Game 4, expect him to start Game 5.

Selection: This is a play on the Detroit Red Wings (8*)
