"The Coach's" NHL DOMINATION
(NHL) Detroit vs. Tampa Bay,
Money Line: -175.00 Tampa Bay (Home)
Result: Loss
The Tampa Bay Lightning and the Detroit Red Wings are tied at 2-2 in this Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series as they take the ice at Amalie Arena Saturday. Despite the results I think it's fair to say that Tampa Bay has dominated the series, out-shooting Detroit in every single game and I'm confident it'll take the lead in the series for the first time with a win tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Situational/Motivational - The Lightning grinded out a 3-2 win in overtime at Detroit Thursday and it's time for them to make the most of their home-ice advantage. Losing at home tonight is not an option as they would have to travel to Detroit risking elimination. Tampa Bay is the way better team, it'll have to show it tonight before it's too late.

2. Road Woes - The Red Wings have won just one of their last five on the raod when visiting a team with a home winning percentage greater than .600 and have lost four of the last five visits to Amalie Arena. In the 3-2 win at Tampa Bay in the opener of this series they were extremely lucky to come away with the win as they were out-shot 46 to 14.

3. X-Factor - The Lightning's Tyler Johnson has four goals in the series and is coming off a two goal and one assist performance Thursday.

Selection: This is a play on the Tampa Bay Lightning(8*)
