The Tampa Bay Lightning looked every bit the team that played yesterday, starting strong but fading fast as the Detroit Red Wings won by a score of 3-1.
Monday's game was a matinee, and the Lightning certainly won't be using it as an excuse for their performance on Tuesday at Joe Louis Arena.
But the Lightning looked every bit the more tired team, especially in the third period, as the Wings waited out an early push by the Lightning to cruise to a 3-1 victory, handing the Lightning their first loss of the young season.
