Tampa, you could say, has secured a place in the playoff zone, but still nominally. In theory, the Lightning can get out of the playoff zone, but in reality it's almost impossible. Ahead of the game with Detroit, the team is content with sixth place in the East, nine points ahead of the ninth-place Red Wings. It's worth noting that the Lightning have performed well in the last five-game stretch, recording four victories.

Detroit can fight for a ticket to the playoffs, but its poor form leaves all prospects behind. Over the last five matches, the Red Wings managed to earn only three points, outplaying the Islanders (6:3) and losing to Washington in overtime (3:4). Thus, the Red Wings continue to occupy the ninth position in the Eastern Conference standings with a total of 80 points, two less than eighth-placed Philadelphia.

We will favour the home team in this match. The probability of success of the Lightning, according to the analysts of bookmakers' offices, is more than 50%, meanwhile Detroit has below 30%. Tampa Bay has performed much better in the last five-match period, in addition, the home stands are on its side, which will play an important role in the outcome. In general, we suggest not to make up anything and bet on a clean win for the home team.
