The Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 Saturday afternoon. Steven Stamkos and Brayden Point were the goal scorers for Tampa Bay. Oskar Sundqvist scored for Detroit. Brian Elliott stopped 26 of 27 shots, while Alex Nedjelkovic stopped 34 of 36. Brian Elliott was fantastic in his first appearance since starting in a losing effort to the Edmonton Oilers on March 12th, and the anchor Tampa Bay needed to right the ship in a frustrating game for the back-to-back champs. The Lighting snapped a three-game losing and kept pace with the Boston Bruins, who dominated the New York Islanders earlier today.
Elliott stands tall, Point and Stamkos score to lead Lightning past Red Wings in overtime, 2-1
