Detroit Red Wings game vs. Tampa Bay Lightning: How to watch Jeff Blashill's return

When: 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Where: Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.

TV: Bally Sports Detroit Extra.

Game notes: The Red Wings topped the Lightning, 4-2, in the season's first meeting in Tampa two weeks ago. Now, the home fans will get to "welcome back" former head coach Jeff Blashill, now a Lightning assistant. Blashill shepherded the Wings during a transition period in the franchise, making the playoffs just once in seven seasons — his first in 2015-16, losing the series, 4-1, to the Lightning. Neither the Wings, Pistons, Lions or Tigers have even won a playoff game since — more than 2,000 days later.
