Tampa Bay Lightning Detroit Red Wings
Both teams didnt play the best they know in last couple of games. However, there is no make-up exam in the play-off. Every game is very important and can be a decisive one. The Lightning will have the home-field advantage in this game due to better position in the standings and they should use it. The Lightning won their previous head-to-head, played at the end of last month, by 6-2, and they were better in the game before. Regardless that the Lightning will miss several important players i would give the advantage to the home team due to better head-to-head score in most recent played games.Pick: Tampa Bay Lightning wins @ 2.12
