There will be a day the Red Wings finally break through and defeat the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Some day. It has to, right?
The Lightning’s dominance continued Thursday, as Tampa’s big stars led the Lightning to a 4-1 victory over the Red Wings.
A Red Wings’ defeat to Tampa isn’t anything new.
The Lightning have defeated the Red Wings 11 consecutive times, counting regular season and playoffs, beginning with Game 3 of the 2016 playoffs.
The Red Wings haven’t won in Tampa Bay since February 2011, a streak also reaching 11 games.
Thurday’s loss ended a modest three-game (2-0-1) point streak for the Red Wings (23-24-9, 55 points), who trail Carolina by eight points for the final Eastern Conference wild card spot.
