The Tampa Bay Lightning outshot the Detroit Red Wings 44-14, and seemed to have control of the game, but top-notch goal tending by Detroit's Petr Mrazek and some breaks and impressive goals helped the Wings steal one Thursday night 3-2.
The Wings managed to keep Tampa Bay scoreless during seven power plays. And the Wing's Luke Glendening scored a very impressive goal in the third period while the Wings were shorthanded, giving the Wings a 3-1 advantage.

The Wings got a break Thursday night.
