Lightning 3, Red Wings 1
In a potential opening-round playoff preview, Tampa Bay got a
big boost toward securing home ice in the first round, building
their lead ove Detroit with a 3-1 win over the Red Wings at
Amalie Arena.
The Lightning (44-21-7) came in with a six-point lead on Detroit
(38-21-11) for second place in the Atlantic, but with the Red
Wings having two extra games remaining, the win helps extend
Tampa Bay's lead and keeps pressure on first-place Montreal.
With Detroit pressing to tie the game on Friday, Steven Stamkos
clinched the win on an empty-net goal with 28 seconds remaining,
his 40th of the season.
