Game Preview
Important points in the battle for playoff spots in the NHL come thick and fast in the final month of the regular season. The Tampa Bay Lightning have been reliable throughout the campaign, winning 43 of their 69 games. Their record over their last ten is also strong, winning five times.
However, they will likely have questions to answer this week following a recent defeat. Tampa were edged out in overtime against the Calgary Flames in their latest outing, as they failed to see out a 3-2 win.
But, being back at home should suit their chances this week, as the Lightning have gone 20-11-0 at the Benchmark International Arena.
The Minnesota Wild find themselves in a similar position to the Lightning, as they sit third in the Central Division. However, their advantage over the Utah Mammoth mean that they are within touching distance of securing a playoff berth.
Minnesota have been reliable across their last ten games, winning on five occasions and suffering just three defeats in regulation.
Last time out, the Wild battled to a 2-1 overtime success against the Dallas Stars, with Bobby Brink and Vladimir Tarasenko scoring the goals in the win.
Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Minnesota Wild Picks
These two sides are very evenly matched, ensuring a close encounter on Tuesday. However, the narrow preference is for the Lightning to make their home advantage count.
