The Tampa Bay Lightning visit the Detroit Red Wings for an NHL matchup. Tampa Bay is favored on the moneyline and puck line despite recent struggles in night games, while Detroit has a strong home underdog record and is performing well early in the season.
Key Factors to Consider
Detroit Red Wings have started 3-1-0 showing solid form at home, while Tampa Bay Lightning have a 1-2-1 record but remain offensively potent, ranking 1st in goals scored per game and possessing a top-5 power play.

No major injuries reported that significantly impact either team's core players in this game.
The game is at Detroit's home arena. The Lightning are traveling and have had poor results in night games recently, losing their last eight night matchups.
