Red Wings scrappy but powerless in loss to Lightning

Detroit — The Red Wings found ways old and new to lose 5-2 to the offensively super-charged, league-leading Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday.

An icing call against Wings that perhaps should not have been made. A goaltender interference call against the Lightning that perhaps should have been.

The power play that went 0-for-4, including for 1:15 of five-on-three play.

Yielding another critical goal in the last minute of a period.

Getting tons of scoring chances, and failing to convert.

Not giving a hard-pressed goalie enough support.

Another game the Wings believe they could have won, even despite the comparatively lopsided final score.
