The Tampa Bay Lightning have announced that defenseman Max Crozier has been re-assigned to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch.

Some stat lines from this game spelled potential trouble for the Lightning. The Red Wings had gone 17-34 on the power play over their previous 10 games, and the Lightning put them on the power play six times. Also, Tampa Bay ceded most of the possession, allowing 40 shots on net and 77 shot attempts.

It was 4-0 before Lucas Raymond for the Red Wings on the scoreboard at 14:12 of the second by blasting in a one-timer on a pass from Patrick Kane on the power play. It was his 19th goal. The Red Wings are 18 for 40 on the power play in the past 11 games. But it was too much of an uphill climb at that point.

The Lightning took an early lead, then pulled away early in the second period, skating to a 5-1 victory. This game resembled one of those games five years ago when the Lightning dominated the series. The Wings had actually won four of the last six games against Tampa heading into Saturday, but didn't extend that success.

Nikita Kucherov had a goal and an assist in Tampa Bay's three-goal, second-period outburst over a 3:42 span as the host Lightning cooled off the torrid Detroit Red Wings, 5-1, on Saturday night.

Detroit Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan wasn't happy with their poor net presence in Saturday night's 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Moritz Seider led the way in ice time with 24:21. The next highest time on ice was Erik Gustafsson, who played 19:49. A few forwards reached the 18-minute threshold, Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat. Lucas Raymond and Dylan Larkin both played just under 18 minutes.

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak will miss Saturday's game against the Detroit Red Wings due to an undisclosed injury. He left Thursday's matchup against Anaheim after just 34 seconds of ice time after sustaining the injury.

Fresh off a rare win at Florida, the Detroit Red Wings are in friendlier climes, at least recently. The Wings take on Tampa Bay tonight, where they have won four of the last six meetings. Before that however,
