Result:
WIN

A lot of offensive firepower on tap, and some questionable defense by the visitors. Detroit is 10th in the NHL in goals scored (second on the power play) while Tampa Bay is No. 1 in goals tallied. Tampa Bay set a franchise record with 46 shots in a non-overtime postseason game Thursday, but still lost 3-2 to the Red Wings. That was because of a brilliant performance by 23-year old goalie Petr Mrazek, a surprise starter. But can the kid do anything comparable against this Tampa Bay offense? Tampa Bay is 3-1-2 OVER the total at home and 35-13-3 OVER in the Lightning's last 51 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. In addition, Tampa Bay is 5-2-4 OVER the total in Conference Quarterfinals games. Play Game 2 OVER the total.
