The Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Detroit Red Wings 6-5 in yet another comeback victory. This time, they had to go all the way to the shootout.
The story of this game was Eddie Pasquale making his first appearance in the NHL after playing 235 games in the AHL over eight seasons. Yes, he allowed five goals tonight. That shouldn’t be a surprise. This isn’t a situation where he would be expected to put up a shutout.
But he did enough to keep the team in the game and give the skaters in front of him a chance to win the game, which they did.
