The Wings unleashed an intense, spirited period. Two goals by Mike Green and Justin Abdelkader in 1:56, and several scrums with teammates coming to the defense of one another. This is playoff hockey at its finest as it is 2-2 through two periods in Tampa Bay.
The Wings were 27-9-11 in one-goal games this year.
Tampa Bay’s Jason Garrison went to the penalty box for hooking the Wings' Andreas Athanasiou, who has a knack for drawing penalties.
An eventful Wings power play ensued, with a solid chance from Gustav Nyquist, but it was turned aside by Lightning goalie Ben Bishop.
