Failure to cash in on opportunities, particularly on the power play, and a bad night from goaltender Ben Bishop are the key factors in the Lightning losing 3-2 and falling behind 1-0 in their series with the Detroit Red Wings.
The Detroit Red wings beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 in the opener of the first round of the 2015 NHL Playoffs in Tampa Thursday night.
It's hard to remember a game where the Tampa Bay Lightning played this well and didn't come out on top. They certainly showed the kind of start you want to see, following that up with a sustained, hard-working effort for the duration of the game, and outshot the Red Wings by well over a 3/1 ratio while dominating play in most areas throughout.
