Last night the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Detroit Red Wings 3-2, on the strength of Louis Domingue’s performance (stopping 22 of 24 shots), and two goals from Nikita Kucherov. The story isn’t even that the Bolts defeated the Red Wings 14 times straight; it’s that Kucherov managed to surpass Vincent Lecavalier for most points scored in a single season, at 110. [Raw Charge]
After Thursday night’s 3-0 loss to the Minnesota Wild, the Lightning were gifted the bottom scraping Detroit Red Wings to get themselves back in the win column.
