The Circus Moves to Detroit; Tampa Bay Lightning at Detroit Red Wings Game 3 preview

The circus was in full swing at the end of the game 2 in Tampa. Now the three ring circus moves to Detroit.

The Lightning are heading into the Motor City with a two games to none lead over the Detroit Red Wings. Both of the first two games in Tampa have been physical affairs culminating in a rather ugly brawl at the end of Game 2 that saw a combined 93 penalty minutes given out in the last minute of the game including 6 Misconducts and a Game Misconduct.

It was easy to see that something was coming at the end of the game as the Lightning were already up by 3 goals after having added an empty net goal with goaltender Jimmy Howard pulled for an extra attacker.
