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.
Raymond scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-1 in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Tampa Bay. Raymond recorded his fifth power-play goal of the campaign at 14:12 of the middle frame, but that was all Andrei Vasilevskiy would allow on a night in which Detroit almost doubled up Tampa Bay in shots on goal.
Raymond scored a power-play goal, as the Wings continued their stellar run on the power play (10th game with a goal in 11 games). The Wings were 1-for-6 on the power play. The Wings put 40 shots on Tampa goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy but in some ways that was a misguided statistic.
After a humbling loss in Tampa characterized by futility at the net front, the Red Wings must bounce back in a hurry ahead of tonight's game vs. the Stars
