from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,
Beating one elite opponent won't ultimately mean much if the Detroit Red Wings can't do it again.
The challenge ahead takes them to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday and Florida Panthers on Saturday. The Wings earned some swagger Tuesday with how they beat the Carolina Hurricanes, but the fact is the Wings haven't repeated as victors since doing so in early February against the Philadelphia Flyers, and before that, the Buffalo Sabres in mid-January. Those teams are both lower in the standings, while the Lightning and Panthers are battling for first place in the Eastern Conference.
