Red Wings lineup tonight: Detroit’s projected lineup for game against the Tampa Bay Lightning

The Detroit Red Wings will face the Tampa Bay Lightning on the road on Friday. Detroit is looking to snap a two-game skid that most recently saw them drop a 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers.

Since picking up a 2-1 win over the reigning Stanley Cup champs on Sunday, Detroit has fallen to the Montreal Canadiens, and most recently to the Panthers in a highly anticipated rematch.

Detroit won’t be the only team on the ice tonight looking to swing momentum back their way. On the flip side, Tampa Bay will also be looking to bounce back from a loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs earlier in the week, which dropped them to just 2-3 over their last five.

While the Lightning have already clinched a playoff berth, Detroit is still in the running for a spot in the Eastern Conference Wild Card race despite facing an uphill battle.
