Lightning, Red Wings each licking wounds entering clash

The Detroit Red Wings and host Tampa Bay Lightning limp into their third matchup this season coming off bad losses on Tuesday night in Florida.

Holding the top wild-card spot, the Red Wings had another terrible-looking injury to a forward, this time Andrew Copp, in a 4-3 setback against the Florida Panthers.

Coach Todd McLellan's team, which leads the Boston Bruins by just one point in the wild-card standings and is three points clear of the bubble, appeared to be headed to a significant victory, leading 3-2 with 1:30 left.
