from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,
This was significantly better. It was competitive and a type of game the Red Wings want to play.
Now, they’d like to win, which they didn’t do Thursday against the powerful Tampa Bay Lightning in a 3-1 loss at Amalie Arena.
The game wasn't decided until Tampa's Alex Killorn scored an empty net goal at 18 minutes, 53 seconds of the third period, giving Tampa a two-goal lead and providing the necessary cushion.
But this encouraging, a step far away from the ugly losses recently.
