Blake Coleman scored 16 seconds into the game, Mikhail Sergachev added another goal early in the second period, and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Detroit Red Wings, 2-1, on Sunday at Little Caesars Arena.

Tampa Bay’s Christopher Gibson had 22 saves, filling in for star goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy. Lightning coach Jon Cooper said the team has a plan for how to use Vasilevskiy and that included scratching him for a second straight game.

Jonathan Bernier gave up a goal on the game’s first shot and finished with 40 saves for the Red Wings.
