My Prediction
Tampa Bay Lightning by 2Take a gander at the goalie stats, and Detroit's Cam Talbot is having quite the fascinating season with a whopping 94% save rate. Tampa, on the other hand, is boasting the excellence of Andrei Vasilevskiy, who's got an impressive 94.8% save rate to his name. Not too shabby, eh?
As far as top players go, Red Wings' tech department needs to patch out Lucas Raymond's -7 plus-minus this season, and maybe while they're at it, fix Dylan Larkin's -9 plus-minus as well. On the flip side, Lightning's Nikita Kucherov is flexing with 44 assists this season, with an impressive plus 14. No wonder Tampa Bay is shining bright.
Looking at the wrinkled history of these teams, it's evident that the Red Wings have a slight upper hand based on the scoreboard. But history, my dear friends, is like a bad haircut, it never defines who we are today.
We've got the Red Wings with a regular-season record of 21-4-19 while the Lightning is sizzling at 24-3-16. As the numbers reveal, Lightning has been torching the ice more often than the Red Wings.
In the break-neck world of recent results, the Lightning seems to be on a rollercoaster ride, but hey, isn’t life all about ups and downs? And the Red Wings, although boasting a fantastic rematch with the Florida Panthers, fell flat on their face against San Jose.
Considering the tale of these stats, put on your earmuffs because here comes the prediction.
Albert’s Prediction: Tampa Bay Lightning by 2.
