The Detroit Red Wings return from an extended All Star break to face the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Red Wings have had nine days off from their last game.

The Detroit Red Wings open the second half of the season tonight against the suddenly red hot Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning are 8-2 in their last ten games while the Red Wings are 6-3-1 in their last ten.

The Red Wings are coming off a win against the New York Islanders last Monday to end the first half on a winning note.

The Lightning, with all the drama surrounding Steven Stamkos have managed to climb into a second place tie in the Atlantic Divison. They are currently tied with the Red Wings at 58 points, both teams are seven points behind the Florida Panthers for the Division lead.

Steven Stamkos is the Lightning leader in goals with 21 all while dealing with the uncertainty of his future. The Lightning are also led by youngster Nikita Kucherov.

This is the first time the Red Wings have been in Tampa Bay since being ousted by the Lightning in the first round of last years playoffs.

Here is all the important info for tonight’s game:

72. Final. . 23.

Detroit Red Wings (25-16-8) at Tampa Bay Lightning (27-18-4)
Amalie Arena – Tampa Bay, FL
Game Time: 8:00 PM ET
TV: NBC Sports Network
Radio: 97.1 FM/1270 AM in Detroit (click here for affiliates)
Online Streaming: NHL Game Center Live

The Red Wings have a tough start to the 2nd half as they play Tampa Bay, Florida twice, New York Islanders and the Ottawa Senators.

Petr Mrazek is the confirmed starter tonight as Jeff Blashill confirmed. Mrazek is seeking his eighth straight road win as he has been fire this season. Mrazek is third in the NHL in Goals Against Average and second in the NHL in save percentage.

It might be time to consider Mrazek a Vezina trophy candidate if not the leader for that award.

Prediction time, I think the Red Wings come out motivated and win a hard fought game. I see a score of 3-1 with the Red Wings getting an empty net to seal it. Do you have a prediction for today’s game? Leave a comment below or check in with us on facebook or twitter.
