Well, that didn’t last long.
Tampa Bay’s Jonathan Drouin uses his speed to create a three-on-two rush, and sends a drop pass to Brian Boyle, who buries a wrist shot past Jimmy Howard for a 2-1 Tampa Bay lead.
There’s 13:14 left in the second period. The goal came 3:36 after the Wings' Dylan Larkin tied the game.
Boyle looked like he interfered with the Wings' Luke Glendening on the prior play (from center ice into the Tampa Bay zone), which drew the rage of the Detroit bench.
Drouin is quickly joining the likes of Brad Marchand (Boston, 2014) and Ryan Clowe (San Jose, 2010 and 2011) as a playoff pest.
