Lightning force Game 7 with win over Red Wings

DETROIT - So the Detroit Red Wings know what has to be done in Game 7 Wednesday night.

Somehow, some way, the Wings will have to stick Tyler Johnson in a bottle and put him out to sea when the Eastern Conference first-round series returns to Florida.

If only it was that easy.

The 5-foot-8, 183-pound Johnson put the Tampa Bay Lightning on his back Monday night, scoring two goals as the Lightning forced a seventh and deciding game in the best of seven first-round playoff series with a 5-2 victory at Joe Louis Arena.

The Lightning has 14 goals in the series.
