There have been plenty of changes for both teams since the Final, but one team remains far superior than the other. The Bolts sit third in the Atlantic Division with a 15-5-4 record, while the Habs sit seventh at 6-17-3. Tampa Bay has won 16 of the last 21 meetings with Montreal.

Lightning vs Canadiens Recent Results

The Lightning have won three straight games, while the Habs have just one win in their past six contests. It gets worse for the Habs with Tyler Toffoli, Josh Anderson, and Jeff Petry recently getting injured. Moreover, Cole Caufield was the favorite in the Calder Trophy odds in the preseason, but with his sophomore slump in full effect, he’s fallen out of the Top 15.

Given Tampa’s dominance in this rivalry, bet them to win by at least two goals at +128 in the Lightning vs Canadiens odds at Barstool Sportsbook.

Pick: Tampa Bay Lightning -1.5 (+128)

Predators vs Red Wings Tuesday NHL Pick and Prediction

The Nashville Predators (13-10-1) are slight road favorites over the Detroit Red Wings (13-9-3) in Tuesday’s NHL odds. The Red Wings have won five straight games and are an impressive 9-2-2 at Little Caesars Arena. The Preds, meanwhile are coming off a 4-3 OT victory over the Habs.

Detroit is the hotter team entering Tuesday’s NHL matchup, but Nashville has had the Wings’ number. The Predators have won four straight games against the Red Wings and have also won four of the past five meetings in Motor City. Nashville is 5-5-2 on the road overall this season.

Predators vs Red Wings Recent Results

There’s value with the Predators in Tuesday’s NHL odds due to some key matchups. Nashville has a hot power play operating at 23% efficiency and will face a Detroit penalty kill that’s bottom-five in the NHL (75.3%). Nashville goalie Juuse Saros has been terrific vs Detroit, posting a 5-2 record with a .937 save percentage.

Detroit’s recent winning streak is a bit deceiving, as three of their past four wins have come in extra time. Take advantage of some value with the Predators and back them as road favorites at -113 in the Predators vs Red Wings odds at Barstool Sportsbook.

Pick: Nashville Predators ML (-113)
