DETROIT – No matter how well or badly they were playing during the 2014-15 regular season, the Detroit Red Wings typically out-shot their opponents.
But that hasn't been the case during the first two games of their Eastern Conference first round series against the Tampa Bay Lightning, which is tied 1-1, going into Game 3 on Tuesday (7 p.m., NBCSN, Sportsnet, TVA Sports, FOX Sports Detroit , Sun Sports) at Joe Louis Arena.
Tampa Bay has out-shot Detroit by a combined 76-38, mostly on the strength of a 46-14 advantage in Game 1, in which the Red Wings Petr Mrazek made 44 saves in his Stanley Cup Playoffs debut and allowed Detroit to escape with a 3-2 win.
