Detroit — The Tampa Bay Lightning don’t lose often to anyone in the NHL these days, and especially the Red Wings.
The Lightning have defeated the Wings 13 consecutive times in the regular season, including twice this season.
The last time the teams met, Dec. 4, the Lightning rallied to defeat the Wings 6-5 in a shootout.
“They’re a good team,” forward Justin Abdelkader said. “Over the last number of games, you look back at those games, we played them real well. We’ve been right there, we’ve led games, we’ve let games get away from us.
