The game between the Detroit Red Wings and Tampa Bay Lightning will take place at Little Caesars Arena on December 21 at 7:00 PM ET.
The Detroit Red Wings will welcome the Tampa Bay Lightning to Little Caesars Arena for an NHL game on Wednesday. The Wings lost 4-3 against the Capitals in their last game. Detroit has lost nine of its past 11 and fell to 2-7 in overtime this season. But players and coach Derek Lalonde were almost relieved to escape Washington with a point thanks to the play of goaltender Ville Husso, who stopped 39 of the 42 shots he faced.
Three of those saves came against Ovechkin, who for a third consecutive game was unable to score his 801st goal and tie Gordie Howe for second on the NHL career list. He remained stuck on 800 with Howe’s sons Mark and Marty in attendance and thinking it would be fitting if Ovechkin tied their father’s mark against his longtime team, with which he played 25 seasons.
The Lightning on the other hand lost 4-1 against the Leafs in their last game. Vladislav Namestnikov scored for Tampa Bay, which had its five-game winning streak halted. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 36 shots for the Lightning, who lost in regulation for just the fourth time in their last 17 games (13-4-0).
“I don’t know what part of the game they reinvented that had us perform like that,” Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said. “But note to self, don’t come to Toronto three days before the game.
