Tampa Bay Lightning at Detroit Red Wings 10/14/21 - NHL Picks & Predictions

Tampa Bay is looking horrible on the young season already. The Lightning in their opening game ended up getting blown out of the game by a score of 6-2. What is really bad is the Lightning did not even look impressive on either side of the puck. 

Andrei Vasilevskiy ended up playing in net for the Lightning in the game. In the game Vasilevskiy only faced a total of 32 shots and allowed 3 of them shots to get into the net. In the game Vasilevskiy played only 57:54 in the game, which means the remaining goals were empty netters.

Detroit is coming here after having an eventful opening preseason.The Red Wings finished the preseason with 4 wins, but also 4 losses. The last game for the Red Wings ended up being a 3-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.

The Red Wings are coming to the game here with only 2 goalies on the roster. The most likely starter is Thomas Greiss. Last season Greiss ended up posting an 8-15-8 record. However, Greiss ended up allowing only 2.70 goals per game and saved 91.2% of the shots sent his way.

Detroit does have a chance to bring home a win in this game. The Red Wings had a so-so preseason, but are a team that at least showed up defensively in the past and are bringing in a good goalie that has been tested in the past and is familiar with the play of the Lightning and the lack of a strong offensive showing will help the Red Wings in getting the win here. Final Score Prediction, Detroit Red Wings win 4-2.
