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.
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).
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.
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.
