The Red Wing’s last night had their first meeting against the Lightning with former Detroit great Steve Yzerman as Tampa Bay’s general manager Detroit blitzed the host Lightning 6-to-2 behind a pair of goals from Pavel Datsyuk. It seemed like a home game for Detroit with an estimated two-thirds of the sold out crowd of nearly 21-thousand wearing red jerseys, t-shirts and caps.

The Red Wings shoot for their fourth straight win tonight when they play at Florida.

In college hockey, Western Michigan plays Michigan tonight and tomorrow night in Ann Arbor.
