Red Wings show fight, but unable to figure out Lightning in 5-2 loss

Failure to convert on the power play left the Detroit Red Wings with a familiar outcome against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Wings left Little Caesars Arena Sunday on the short end of a 5-2 final, losing for the 10th straight time in the regular season to the Lightning.

After a heated first period that saw two fights, Gustav Nyquist used his 14th goal to edge Detroit within 2-1. The Wings were stymied through two 5-on-3s and 6:45 minutes total of power play time through two periods, which saw them with a 26-13 edge in shots (eight of them during power plays).
