Overview
- The Detroit Red Wings beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-0 on Saturday, with Lucas Raymond scoring and assisting and Daniil Tarasov stopping 31 shots for his second shutout of the season.
- Tarasov’s performance snapped Detroit’s five-game losing streak and moved the team to 8-10-3 while handing Tampa Bay its first home loss of the season and ending an eight-game home winning streak.
- Tarasov has posted elite early-season numbers compared with starter John Gibson, prompting public and media calls for him to receive more starts even as coach Todd McLellan declined to commit to a rotation change.
- Defenseman William Wallinder left the game in the third period with a reported knee injury after a knee-on-knee collision and his condition has not yet been fully diagnosed.
- Tampa Bay was without Brayden Point, Anthony Cirelli and Erik Cernak for the game, and Detroit returns home to host the Boston Bruins on Wednesday in its next scheduled game.
