In the Steve Yzerman era of Tampa Bay, The Captain’s former team has fared especially poorly against his current one. The Detroit Red Wings are 6-18 against the Lightning since Yzerman took over in 2010. What’s more, only one of those six wins came on the road. Perhaps–now that Yzerman has stepped aside–the Red Wings’ luck can change.
Tampa Bay center, Tyler Johnson, is coming off a hat trick on Tuesday night. As a result, he now leads his team with 5 points and may continue his hot streak tonight. Another offensive producer for the Lightning has been 22-year-old, Brayden Point.
