Tampa Bay Lightning vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/28/25

The Tampa Bay Lightning and Detroit Red Wings are set to meet for the second time this season on Friday afternoon. Detroit won the first meeting 2-1 in overtime back on October 17, and this contest could also yield a low-scoring result. The Red Wings have seen their offensive success take a dip in November, as they are averaging 2.6 goals per game so far this month after averaging 3.4 goals per game in October. Things won’t get any easier for the Red Wings in this one as they prepare to go up Andrei Vasivelskiy. The Russian netminder is on a tear right now allowing just 4 total goals over his last 5 starts. He’s also been elite against Detroit in his career, owning a .929 save percentage to go along with a 2.15 goals-against average in 23 career games against the Red Wings.

Tampa Bay’s offensive efforts have been a bit of a roller coaster this season. Tampa’s scoring inconsistencies are largely due to the power play’s ineffectiveness, as the Bolts rank 23rd in the NHL with a power play percentage of 16.2% on the season. It’s also worth mentioning that Brayden Point has missed Tampa’s last 2 games, and his status for this one is still in doubt. Look to the under in this one.
