Erik Condra pumped to play near hometown, Red Wings make changes

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Erik Condra shoots and scores beating Detroit Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard for the first goal of the game during first period action at the Amalie Arena in Tampa on March 22.

Lightning wing Erik Condra would be excited enough just to be playing in Sunday's Game 3 against the Red Wings, considering he was a healthy scratch in the first two.

But the fact Condra is from the Detroit area makes this one even more special - and expensive - considering the amount of ticket requests from family and friends.
