Andreas Athanasiou was baffled and disappointed.
He is the Detroit Red Wings’ leading goal scorer with 11, and might have had another one entering Thursday’s game at Toronto things gone differently Tuesday.
Athanasiou was on a breakaway in the third period when Lightning forward Alex Killorn used his stick to slow Athanasiou, tugging at his leg. Athanasiou lost his balance, and both ended up penalized: Killorn for hooking, Athanasiou for embellishment.
