Up next: Tampa Bay Lightning

DETROIT - Regardless of the outcome of Saturday's game between the all-world Tampa Bay Lightning (29-8-3, 61 points) and the struggling Ottawa Senators, the Red Wings will face a Bolts team Sunday at Little Caesars Arena (7 p.m. face-off), which has had Detroit's number.
Dating back to February 3, 2016, a span of 14 games including the playoffs, Tampa Bay has defeated Detroit 13 times. They are currently enjoying a nine-game winning streak over the Red Wings.

When you glance over the individual and team statistics in the NHL, the Lightning's dominance is staggering.
Currently Tampa Bay leads the NHL in wins (28), points (61), Regulation Overtime Wins (27), goals for (147), goal differential (plus-52) and road record (13-5-2).
They are tied for first in goals against (95) and have the second-best home record (16-3-1) in the league.
Individually, Nikita Kucherov's 57 points (26 goals, 31 assists, plus-16) in 40 games leads the NHL in scoring. Bolts captain Steven Stamkos is third in scoring with 50 points (17 goals, 33 assists, plus-19) in 40 games.
Kucherov's 26 goals is tied with Alex Ovechkin for tops in the NHL, while Stamkos's 33 assists ranks fifth overall in the league.
Up front Tampa's depth is almost frightening.
Stamkos and Kucherov are the lynchpins, but Brayden Point's 36 points (16 goals, 20 assists, plus-19) in 40 games, Vladislav Namestnikov's 33 points (15 goals, 18 assists, plus-12) in 40 games, Red Wings killer Tyler Johnson's 29 points, (12 goals, 17 assists, plus-6) in 39 games, rookie Yanni Gourde's 26 points (11 goals, 15 assists, plus-16) in 40 games and Ondrej Palat's 25 points (seven goals, 18 assists, plus-15) in 40 games are all aggressive and relentless in their attack.
Point is first in the league with seven game-winning goals, ranks seventh in shorthanded points with three and his plus-19 is seventh in the NHL.
Namestnikov is fifth in the NHL in power-play goals with eight and Gourde is sixth overall in rookie scoring, seventh among rookies in goals, tenth in rookie power-play goals (three), seventh in rookie assists and along with defenseman Mikhail Sergachev, they lead all rookies in plus-minus at plus-16.
Perennial All-Star defenseman Victor Hedman is fifth overall in defensemen scoring with 30 points (four goals, 26 assists, plus-20) in 40 games. He is also logging big minutes of ice time, averaging 25:52 per game.
Sergachev, 19, is 12th among defensemen in scoring with 25 points (eight goals, 17 assists, plus-16).
Acquired as part of the Jonathan Drouin deal with Montreal, Sergachev ranks high in several rookie categories (scoring -11th, assists - seventh, power-play points (10) - seventh, power-play assists (eight) - sixth) and he leads all NHL rookies in game-winning goals with five.
"Everybody needs to pump the brakes on (Sergachev)," Bolts head coach Jon Cooper told reporters after Thursday's 2-1 shootout loss at Montreal. "The poor kid coughs one up there for (Max) Pacioretty's goal, he's a 19-year-old teenager playing in a big man's league and doing a hell of a job.
"Players make mistakes. The bottom line is, are you going to learn from them? He doesn't make those too often."
The Bolts blueline may be anchored by Hedman, but Anton Stralman (four goals, seven assists) in 38 games is also a presence on the back end. He leads the NHL in plus-minus at plus-26 and he's second on the team in ice time at 20:51.
Throw in veterans Dan Girardi (two goals, seven assists, plus-16) in 40 games and Braydon Coburn (zero goals, seven assists, even) in 34 games and it's easy to understand why the Lightning have one of the NHL's deepest defensive corps.
But what sets Tampa Bay apart from other legitimate Stanley Cup contenders is goaltender Andre Vasilevskiy.
Drafted in the first round, 19th overall in the 2012 NHL Draft, with a pick Tampa Bay acquired from the Wings for Kyle Quincey, Vasilevskiy (26-5-2) has been lights-out this season.
His 26 victories and six shutouts are tops in the NHL; his 1.92 goals-against average and .939 save percentage are second-best in the league.
Since former number one goalie Ben Bishop was traded to the Los Angeles Kings on February 26, 2017, Vasilevskiy is 38-9-4 over his last 51 starts. His 38 victories are the most in the NHL over that stretch.
In Thursday night's 2-1 shootout loss to the Canadiens, Vasilevskiy (37 saves) and Montreal's Carey Price (44 saves) put on a goaltending clinic. Each goalie made spectacular save after spectacular save.
"I can't be too hard on our guys, they've played outstanding defense for a long period of time, we just didn't tonight," Cooper told Fox Sports Sun after Thursday's game. "I'm not sure what our mental thought was going into this game, but clearly it wasn't playing the right way.
"Montreal took advantage and if it wasn't for Vasy (Vasilevskiy), who knows if this even goes to overtime. He got us the point."
On December 29, backup goalie Peter Budaj was injured against Philadelphia in the third period and had to leave the game. He was placed on injured reserve (IR) with a lower-body injury.
Louis Domingue was recalled from Syracuse on December 31 and is Vasilevskiy's backup. Before he was traded to the Lightning on November 14, Domingue was 0-6-0 for the Arizona Coyotes with a 4.33 goals-against average and an .856 save percentage.
Since Tampa Bay is playing back-to-back games this weekend to close out their current five-game road trip, there is speculation Domingue could see his first action in net for the Lightning versus Ottawa on Saturday or the Wings on Sunday.
However, with the Senators having a terrible year, if Domingue does get a start in goal, it will most likely be in Ottawa.
