5. Detroit hockey fans had an exciting night after the Red Wings beat the Tampa Bay Lightning.
It was a big win for the Red Wings, beating the Lightning Goaltender for the first time in 14 games and doing it without Captain Dylan Larkin. Larkin was out for the season after having core muscle surgery on Monday.
The Red Wings started out rough, down one from The Lightning, but they made up for it in the second half of the game, bringing the score up to a tied 3-to-3 in the third period. Vrana had two coals including a tie-breaking score leading the Red Wings to victory.
