Detroit Red Wings hang with defending champs, but fall at Tampa Bay, 2-1, in matinee

The Detroit Red Wings played well defensively but their inability to score cost them against the defending Stanley Cup champions.

They gave up two early goals, then made things interesting in the third period of their Saturday matinee against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena.

The Wings wound up with a 2-1 loss that left them 12-22-4 on the season, but on the whole they played well.

Thomas Greiss gave up goals to Ross Colton and Brayden Point in the first half of the first period. Adam Erne converted on a setup by Frans Nielsen in the third period.
