There's no substitute for what the Detroit Red Wings stars have in spades—playoff experience.
The Red Wings' new starting goaltender may be a rookie, but it’s the overall experience of the team that has made the playoffs an incredible 24 straight seasons that has pushed the young, talented and ultimately fragile-looking Tampa Bay Lightning to the brink in their first-round Eastern Conference matchup.
Freshman goalie Petr Mrazek was again impressive Saturday, posting his second shutout in three games with 28 saves against the Bolts in Tampa to give the Wings a 3-2 series lead following a 4-0 win.
