The Red Wings are averaging 2.91 goals per game in 2024-25, 20th in the NHL.

Moritz Seider led the way in ice time with 24:21. The next highest time on ice was Erik Gustafsson, who played 19:49. A few forwards reached the 18-minute threshold, Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat. Lucas Raymond and Dylan Larkin both played just under 18 minutes.

Detroit Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan wasn't happy with their poor net presence in Saturday night's 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Kucherov danced his way to the right faceoff dot, pulling a Detroit defender toward him before cutting back to the right center hashmark. Kucherov shelved his shot into the top right corner of the Detroit net for his 21 st goal of the season.

The Red Wings are 8-4-0 since McLellan took over. The power play, despite going 1 for 9 over the weekend, has been potent, converting at nearly 42 percent during this stretch (18 for 43). The penalty killing continues to struggle (16 for 25, 64 percent).

The Detroit Red Wings took nearly 40 shots but mustered just one goal in a 5-1 road loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night.

Raymond scored a power-play goal, as the Wings continued their stellar run on the power play (10th game with a goal in 11 games). The Wings were 1-for-6 on the power play. The Wings put 40 shots on Tampa goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy but in some ways that was a misguided statistic.

Each day, it seems, to be another teaching moment for the Detroit Red Wings. The Red Wings put 40 shots on the Tampa Bay goal in a 5-1 loss. Breakdowns on defense were a major contributor, as was a power play that lost its juice,

It was 4-0 before Lucas Raymond for the Red Wings on the scoreboard at 14:12 of the second by blasting in a one-timer on a pass from Patrick Kane on the power play. It was his 19th goal. The Red Wings are 18 for 40 on the power play in the past 11 games. But it was too much of an uphill climb at that point.

A huge key was the Wings' power play, which had so lethal in recent games (power play goals in 10 of their last 11 games). The Wings did score once, with Lucas Raymond scoring his 19th goal, but the Wings couldn't match the two or three power-play goals they had scored six of the last 11 games.

The Tampa Bay Lightning took down the Detroit Red Wings 5-1 on Saturday night. Even though the Red Wings outshot the Lightning a lopsided 40 to 22, a strong night by the Lightning’s top line and goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy between the pipes allowed them to flip the script.

TAMPA -- Nikita Kucherov and Jake Guentzel each had a goal and two assists for the Tampa Bay Lightning in a 5-1 win against the Detroit Red Wings at Amalie Arena on Saturday. Kucherov, who recorded his 600th NHL assist in the second period, extended his point streak to eight games (four goals, 10 assists).
