Game 2 loss leaves Wings facing long road back

Tampa Bay — Somehow the Red Wings have to find a way to slow down Tampa Bay’s scoring line.

And play better defense overall.

Get more scoring.

Play more disciplined and poised.

Get a few more saves from their goaltender.

That’ll about do it. And, maybe, they’ll get back in this series, in which Friday they fell behind 2-0 after losing 5-2 to the Tampa Bay Liightning.

Games 3 and 4 are Sunday and Tuesday at Joe Louis Arena, where the Red Wings need to find the type of overall game that’s been missing thus far.
