Power-play struggles doom Red Wings in OT loss to Lightning

Detroit — Sometimes games can be decided to the simplest level, and Saturday's Red Wings game was one of those afternoons.

Tampa defeated the Red Wings 2-1 in overtime on the strength of scoring two power-play goals.

The Wings, on the other hand, didn't score with the man advantage while having five attempts in the game (Tampa was two-for three).

Sure, there were a lot of other variables in the game, as in any game. But the Lightning scored on the power play, the Wings didn't, and that's how Tampa won the game.
