In betting circles, handicappers will tell you small home dogs pack a mean bite. The Lightning look to sink their teeth into the favored Red Wings Saturday as 105 underdogs.
Tampa Bay brings a 18-11-3 overall mark (7-3-2 in the division) into this game versus a Detroit team carrying a 21-9-3 record.
The Red Wings know Tampa Bay will be looking to prove oddsmakers, who made them 105 home underdogs, made a mistake in this one. Tampa Bay is 18-11-3, while the Red Wings are 21-9-3. The total opened at 6.5.
Mike Babcock's troops went to Florida last game and came away with a 3-2 loss, a game that went under 6.5. Oddsmakers had them as 165 favorites in that one.
John Tortorella's team was busy last game winning against Phoenix 3-1 as 135 underdogs. The 4 goals sent that game under the total of 5.5.
