Red Wings vs. Lightning Prediction

I’m on the Lightning here. The Red Wings just look like they’re running out of steam at this point while the Lightning look like a team poised to get out of the Wild Card spots and get themselves a first round matchup with the Boston Bruins. I just don’t have any more faith with the Red Wings and think the Lightning at home are the only option considering how well the Lightning play on home ice. Give me Tampa Bay here.
