For most of the game Ville Husso and Andrei Vasilevskiy traded save after save as the Tampa Bay Lightning and Detroit Red Wings played a low-scoring, high-energy game. Down a goal heading into the third period, the Lightning threw everything except Thunderbug at Husso, but the free agent signee was staunch in net, allowing just two of the 30 Lightning shots in the final frame to get past him. With the aid of a couple of empty net goals, the Red Wings held on for the 4-2 victory. Husso ended with 44 saves on 46 shots while Vasilevskiy had 22 on 24 saves.
