ASA Puck Line Destroyer NHL 10*
(NHL) Detroit vs. Tampa Bay,
Point Spread: 1.50 | 115.00 Detroit (Away)
Result: Loss
ASA NHL TOP PLAY ON 10* Detroit Red Wings Puck Line (+1.5 goals) over Tampa Bay Lightning, Wednesday at 5:35 PM ET - The Lightning, of course, are the better team here and they are the defending Stanley Cup Champions and they are huge favorites on the money line for a reason. But the Red Wings are very likely to be the more motivated team plus should get solid goal-tending here and we like the value available with the +1.5 goals on the puck line. Thomas Greiss will be between the pipes for Detroit and, in his 6 starts he has allowed a total of only 14 goals in regulation. He has been very consistent in his starts for the Red Wings and not allowed more than 3 goals in any of them. That average of 2.3 goals in regulation time of the 6 starts that Greiss has made is also a big reason that 4 of 6 losses have been by just a single goal and two of those were in overtime. Look for another 1-goal game here. Last season Tampa Bay was also a huge favorite in both games but both were 1-goal games and the Red Wings even got the outright upset in one of those games. Detroit has some guys on the quarantine list but they have already been playing without them and gotten adjusted to that and have still been ultra-competitive most games as you can see from all the tight losses they have had this season. The Tyler Bertuzzi injury hurts but the Red Wings just battled Florida to a 3-2 loss without him on Sunday. Tampa Bay is off a 5-2 win but they entered that game on a 2-1-1 run where each win was by a single goal. Look for another close game here early Wednesday evening. Grabbing the +1.5 goals (and getting a come back price too, currently in +110/115 range) with Detroit is the play here
