Trending: Lightning snap Red Wings' win streak

DETROIT -- The Tampa Bay Lightning sure know how to kill a good mood.
The Lightning came into Little Caesars Arena Sunday night and left with a 5-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings.

The loss snapped the Wings' four-game win streak and five-game home win streak and extended the Lightning's win streak over the Wings to 10 games.
The Wings fell to 17-17-7 overall and 10-7-6 at home while the Lightning improved to 30-9-3 overall and 14-6-2 on the road.
Gustav Nyquist and Justin Abdelkader scored for the Wings while Dan Girardi, Tyler Johnson, Yanni Gourde (two goals) and Nikita Kucherov scored for the Lightning.
1. Special teams: The Wings had their chances on the power play, including a total of 1:15 with a two-man advantage but they couldn't get the puck past Tampa Bay backup goaltender Louis Domingue. The Lightning came into the game ranked just 23rd on the penalty kill but tied for 12th on the road. The Wings were tied for 12th on the power play. It was the first time this season that the Wings did not have to kill an opponent's power play, which in this case, was the third-best in the league at 24.7 percent.
Quotable: "We had chances, we had big-time chances, we didn't score on them. When you get four power plays and they get none, you got to find a way to score for sure. Would it have made a difference in the game? I guess what I can say is we got to finish the plays. We had some real good looks. We got to score." - Wings coach Jeff Blashill
Quotable II: "We had a lot of power-play minutes here tonight, a 5-on-3, two or three times. Obviously, a goal or two there and it would have been a different game. I think, though, if you take away the first period, from the second on we were playing really well, creating a lot of chances. Again, a little bit too easy for them to score. On a lot of the goals, we have the puck, then they have it and it's in our net." - Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg
2. Dylan Larkin: The Detroit native may appear mild-mannered, but when provoked, he doesn't back down. At 16:35 of the first period, Tampa Bay's Brayden Point caught an unsuspecting Larkin with a punch flush to the face. Larkin then proceeded to trade punches with Point. The highlight of the bout was a flurry of punches delivered by Larkin, including an uppercut to Point's upper body, which jarred the Lightning forward. When they were separated, Larkin may have skated away with a bloodied nose, but Point received the message. Mess with Larkin and there will be consequences. It was only Larkin's second fighting major of his career. His first was on October 21, 2016, against Nashville's Yannick Weber at Joe Louis Arena. Larkin clearly won the fight against Weber. Throughout the game against the Bolts, Larkin was engaged, delivering body checks and mixing it up during scrums. Though it was far from his best game--Larkin was held pointless in 18:21 of ice time and finished a minus-3--he continues to exhibit an inner drive this season, developing into one of the NHL's top two-way players.
Quotable: "I think going back to Dylan's first year, there was liberties taken with him and I think it's good for him that he sticks up for himself. I don't think he had much of a choice in that fight, to be honest with you. I thought we should have come out with a power play, I didn't think it was much choice. I'm not sure where the boarding call (against Larkin) came from. But in all, he's a big-time competitor and wants to win. So, when you want to win that bad, those kinds of things are going to happen." - Blashill
Quotable II: "I don't think they like us, we don't like them, it's pretty clear. There wasn't much energy in the building, I wasn't planning on fighting. Tats (Tomas Tatar) and I are not the most likely to fight, but it was good to get the guys going. We responded after that. I got hit in the mouth, I didn't really see much after that. Before I had my gloves off, I got hit, I don't know if it was a sucker punch, but I knew he was coming. I don't have any experience in that (fighting), I have to be ready for that (being sucker punched)." - Larkin
3. Petr Mrazek: Blashill has said it before, it's much easier to be the goaltender getting the bulk of the work than it is to be the backup. But when Jimmy Howard suffered a lower-body injury in the win over Florida Friday, it meant that Mrazek would start against the league's highest-scoring team. The Lightning came into the game with 150 goals, nine more than the 141 scored by the Toronto Maple Leafs and Vegas Golden Knights. Mrazek was tested early and often as the Lightning had the first six shots of the game. Mrazek stopped league-leading scorer Nikita Kucherov on a breakaway and then got some help from Frans Nielsen, who blocked Steven Stamkos' shot as defenseman Jonathan Ericsson crashed into Mrazek. At 8:56 of the first, Lightning defenseman Dan Girardi deflected a shot past Mrazek. At 14:11 of the first, longtime Wings nemesis Tyler Johnson poked a rebound in the net for a 2-0 Tampa Bay lead. With 59.2 seconds remaining in the second, Yanni Gourde put in a rebound after Mrazek made the initial save on Vladislav Namestnikov. Mrazek finished with 19 saves.
Quotable: "We gave up two back-door plays early in the first. You haven't played in a while and all the sudden you give up two back-door goals, come on. The third one was controversial and Kucherov scores that fourth goal, Kucherov scores lots of goals." - Blashill
Quotable II: "Petr, when he gets the call, he's always ready. I think that he's shown that time and time. He played well tonight. He plays the puck so well, we get out of our end very easy. When he plays there, it's not him to blame here." - Zetterberg
4.Dan Girardi: It was an eventful night for Girardi, the veteran Lightning defenseman. Not only did he score the game's first goal at 8:56 of the first, he provided one of the more frightening moments of the season. With the Wings on a power play, Girardi went to block the shot of Martin Frk at 13:29 of the second period. Girardi was hit in the back of the head as he turned at the last second and went down immediately. Team doctors and training staff rushed to his side and Little Caesars Arena fell silent. Finally, Girardi was able to get up and his teammates helped him off the ice. Girardi did not return but the team reported that he was expected to be all right.
Quotable: "Much better, I think, than how that looked. Coaching all levels for a long time, that was one of the scariest things I've ever seen. But Dan can still take it in stride and have light-hearted comments about it." - Lightning coach Jon Cooper
Quotable II: "Scary. Scary, scary. Nobody likes that. I thought right away, everybody's attention went to hoping he was OK. I was on our bench when Patrick Eaves got hit by Roman Josi's shot a long time ago and that was one of the scariest things I'd ever seen. This would be similar. It's a scary, scary thing for sure. Thankfully, I think he's going to be all right. I haven't had a final … but I think he's going to be all right. It ended up hitting him in a spot where he can be fine with. I thought it hit him right in the face and I was really, really worried for him. So was the rest of the team, so were the doctors, so were the trainers. It was instantaneous that our doctors were ready to go. It was a scary incident." - Blashill
Quotable III: "That's when every player is basically on the same team, when things like that happen. You don't want that to happen to anyone. What I heard, he's doing OK. Lucky. Hopefully he's fine." - Zetterberg
