Tampa Bay Lightning at Detroit Red Wings: The Bolts need a little bit more luck this afternoon

Time: 3:00 pm Eastern Time

Location: Little Caesars Arena

Broadcast/Streaming: NBC

Unfortunately, the Tampa Bay Lightning couldn’t beat the Detroit Red Wings yesterday, while their main rivals, the Florida Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes, earned two points each on Saturday night. The Bolts still collected a point in that game, but their gap behind the Canes has extended to four points with just five games left in regular season. First place is very crucial in the Central Division and would allow them to avoid Florida and Carolina in the first round of playoffs – two teams that are among the strongest in the whole league.
