The Tampa Bay Lightning lost, 4-3, to the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night in a game that can only be summarized as frustrating. Ross Colton and Nikita Kucherov scored for the Lightning. Oskar Sundvist, Jakub Vrana, and Lucas Raymond scored for the Red Wings. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 28 of 32 shots while Thomas Greiss stopped 38 of 41.
The Jekyll and Hyde Lightning came out to play tonight. After an outright dominant first period and scoring the first goal in the opening minutes of the second period, they became lazy, selfish, and failed to properly position themselves as the Red Wings scored three unanswered goals after Colton’s opening goal.
