There’s nothing like beating the Detroit Red Wings for the Tampa Bay Lightning. The last time Tampa Bay lost a regular season game against Detroit was on November 3rd, 2015. Since then, Tampa Bay has won 16 consecutive games against the Red Wings. Yes, 16. In 2015-2016 they went 2-2, 2016-2017 they went 5-0, 2017-2018 they went 4-0, 2018-2019 they went 4-0, and last night was the first time the Lightning faced the Red Wings this season. Tampa Bay has had Detroit’s number for quite a while, more than any other team in the NHL over the same time-span.
So far, so good for Tampa Bay Lightning during critical stretch of divisional games
