Daniil Tarasov stopped all 31 shots he faced and the Red Wings beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-0 on Saturday night at Benchmark International Arena, snapping a five-game losing streak and closing their four-game road trip with a win. It was Tarasov’s second shutout of the season. Detroit improved to 8-10-3, and Tampa Bay lost at home for the first time this season after opening 8-0-0 on its own ice.
How it happened
After a scoreless first period, Lucas Raymond broke the tie at 13:12 of the second, skating in alone on a breakaway and beating Andrei Vasilevskiy to the glove side. William Wallinder had the assist, his second point in as many games. It was Raymond’s eighth goal of the season and his eighth in the last 13 games.
Tarasov held the lead through the third, including two Tampa Bay power plays, and Michael Brandsegg-Nygård sealed it with an empty-net goal with 43 seconds left. Raymond assisted to finish with two points.
