Schule's NHL THURSDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN - DET@TB
(NHL) Detroit vs. Tampa Bay,
04/16/2015 3:30 PM, Score: 3 - 2
Money Line: -165.00 Tampa Bay (Home)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -165.00 Tampa Bay (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Tampa Lightning.
The Bolts host Detroit in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, with Game 1 going Thursday. The Wings come limping into the post-season, having lost seven of their last 11 overall. Detroit's #1 goaltender Jimmy Howard struggled down the stretch, and he's expected to start this series on the bench in favor of backup Peter Mrazek. In addition to a less than ideal goaltending situation, the Wings have a long list of veterans who have been battling injuries in recent weeks. Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg are both expected to play, but neither of them can be considered 100% healthy. The Bolts had one of the best home records in the NHL this season, and they've won four straight home games against Detroit. I think we get a great price to back Tampa here in Game 1.
Take TB.
