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

Tonight, the Detroit Red Wings will collide with the Tampa Bay Lightning in an Atlantic Division showdown that seems poised to deliver fireworks.

After struggling to find their consistency through the early stretch of the season, it appears the Red Wings have hit their stride, winning eight of their last ten, including a 5-2 win over the defending Stanley Cup Champions in their most recent game.

On the flip side, the Lightning are heading into tonight's game after a 4-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks. However, Tampa Bay has won just four over the past ten games.
