For the third straight year, the Detroit Red Wings have been eliminated in the first-round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Detroit Red Wings lost 1-0 to the Tampa Bay Lightning last night after Alex Killorn scored the game-winning goal with 1:43 remaining in regulation. Tampa Bay will move on and play the winner of NYI/Florida.
This is a heart-breaking way to go out after a team that fought so hard to stay alive. Defensive coverage was good, Petr Mrazek (23 saves) was solid in net but Tampa goalie Ben Bishop stood tall on the other end of the ice.
