The Red Wings are 40-101 in their last 141 road games and 0-4 in their last 4 overall. The Lightning are 41-17 in their last 58 home games and 0-4 in their last 4 overall. The under is 8-2 in Red Wings last 10 road games. The over is 4-0 in Lightning last 4 overall. The Red Wings are 5-23 in the last 28 meetings in Tampa Bay and 15-40 in the last 55 meetings. The road team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. The favorite is 41-17 in the last 58 meetings.
The Tampa Bay Lightning are still playing for better playoff seeding, and they kind of need a feel good win to get out of this funk they've been in lately. The Detroit Red Wings have been a mess pretty much all season, and they can't be trusted against quality teams, especially on the road. Only one option for me here, and that's to side with Tampa and the PL for max betting value.
