Detroit — Ultimately this game was a Red Wings victory, but what looked like an easy one suddenly wasn't
The Wings defeated Tampa 6-4 Thursday, ending a stretch where the Lightning had earned points in 20 consecutive games against the Wings.
Add the fact the Wings earned a point in Tuesday's overtime loss to the Lightning, and the Wings had the better of the two-game series, earning three of a possible four points against the defending Stanley Cup champions.
So, there's that in what's been another long, dreary Wings season.
But this one became a little nerve-wracking.
