TAMPA, Fla. — The Detroit Red Wings measured up to an elite opponent, and got their head coach a victory in his former home.
They put on a good start and a resilient finish Tuesday at Amalie Arena against the Tampa Bay Lightning, a team that has been to the Stanley Cup Final the last three seasons. Even better, the Wings maintained pressure and composure and earned a well-deserved 4-2 victory to string together two victories on the first two games of their road trip.
Ville Husso was excellent, making 43 saves but so were his teammates.
