Welcome to the postgame voting for the Wings against the Lightning. Detroit saw the Lightning come in playing their third game in four days and was able to weather an early storm to set the pace that they liked. The Wings jumped to a 2-0 lead before Howard's shutout streak ended at 111:03 to start the season. Fortunately, the 2nd, smaller storm was also weathered and then Kyle Quincey salted it away.
Wings win 3-1
Quick Thoughts:
- Room for improvement by the defense, but I'll say again that I thought this was an excellent game for the Red Wings' blueliners, despite the mistakes that we no doubt will always remember.
