Lightning vs. Red Wings, 2016 NHL playoffs: Time, TV schedule and live stream
How to watch Game 4 between Tampa Bay and Detroit.
Scouting the Lightning
Despite getting 65 shots on Jimmy Howard through the first two games of the series, the Lightning were held to just 16 total on goaltender Petr Mrazek Sunday evening. Tampa Bay ran into a Detroit club looking to make a statement in Game 3 and suffered the consequences. In Game 3, the Lightning amassed 40 penalty minutes and though the Red Wings weren't able to capitalize on any of their power plays, the penalty time stole momentum from Tampa Bay in the loss.
Reducing the penalty minutes would be a prime start for the Lightning in regaining the two-game series lead. Ben Bishop is also the likely candidate to get the start in Game 4.
Scouting the Red Wings
Detroit played an almost perfect game on Sunday from puck drop. They fed off their home crowd and their physicality messed with the Lightning enough to knock them off their speed game. For the Red Wings to tie the series at 2-2, they’ll need to stick with what works by continuing to toe that physical line to keep the Lightning from breaking out of the zone with speed.
Mrazek was hardly tested in Game 3, so he should get the start again at home for Detroit.
