Detroit — This one will count as a disappointing loss for the Red WIngs.
They were leading the league-leading Tampa Bay Lightning by two goals in the third period, but wound up losing 6-5 in a shootout Tuesday at Little Caesars Arena.
The Lightning, who defeated the Wings for the 13th consecutive time in the regular season, won the shootout 2-1, with NIkita Kucherov providing the winner.
Frans Nielsen provided the highlights for the Wings, scoring three goals.
But Tampa's Cedric Paquette tied the game 5-5 with a shorthanded goal at 14:58 of the third period.
