Red Wings vs. Lightning: Game 5 Live Score, Highlights for 2015 NHL Playoffs

Returning to the friendly confines of Amalie Arena, the Tampa Bay Lightning will look to take the lead for the first time in their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night.

The best team in the NHL at home during the regular season, the Lightning were stunned when the Red Wings stole the first game of the series by a score of 3-2 on the strength of a 46-save performance by goaltender Petr Mrazek.

Tampa Bay rebounded to win Game 2 before travelling north to Joe Louis Arena, but the Lightning were six minutes away from going down 3-1 in a series in which they were favored before mounting the late comeback that knotted the series at 2-2 heading into Saturday's pivotal Game 5.
