Red Wings end season two games under .500, blanked 5-0 by Lightning

That's it for another Red Wings hockey season.

Game 82, the regular season finale, took place Thursday in Tampa Bay with the Wings falling to the Lightning 5-0.

In a game befitting the regular season finale, with one team (the Wings) headed for the offseason and the other (Tampa) headed to the first-round of the playoffs next week, there was a dose of aggressiveness but mostly it was a countdown to the end of the season.

Tampa's Brayden Point had two goals (power play, empty net), Alex Killorn, Brandon Hagel and Michael Eyssimont scored Tampa's goals but it was Point who the Amalie Arena crowd got excited about.
