Red Wings can't solve Lightning's Vasilevskiy in frustrating 3-0 loss

Detroit - The Red Wings' surge up the standings hit a roadblock Saturday named Andrei Vasilevskiy.

The Tampa Bay goalie played up to this usual All-World status Saturday leading the Lightning past the Red Wings 3-0.

Vasilevskiy made 45 saves (the Wings outshot Tampa 45-18), was absolutely brilliant during stretches, and slowed down the red-hot Red Wings (28-22-8).

The Wings have won seven of their last nine games (7-2-0), as they head to Ottawa for consecutive games Monday and Tuesday.

Brayden Point, Nikita Kucherov and Alex Killorn (empty net) scored for Tampa (37-17-4).

The Wings weren't able to convert on four-power play opportunities, while killing both Tampa attempts.
