vs. , Game 3Red Wings 3, Lightning 0 | Red Wings lead series 2-1 | Game 4 ThursdayGame 3 in a nutshell: recorded his first career postseason shutout by stopping all 22 shots he faced in Detroit's 3-0 Game Duke Dawson Jr. Jersey 3 win to lead his team to a 2-1 lead in their first round series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. It might have been the most complete game the Red Wings have played so far. Their first win was pretty much the result of Mrazek stealing it and giving it away at the other end of the ice. This Garett Bolles Jersey was just a rock-solid performance from top-to-bottom as they shut down Tampa Bay's attack and received some timely goals from one of their top players ( ) and a couple of their younger players ( and ).Turning point: With a 1-0 lead early in the second period, the Red Wings had to kill off an extended 5-on-3 power play for the Lightning after Glendenning was sent off for interference and Danny Dekeyser was penalized for delay of game. Not only did the Red Wings kill the entire two-man advantage, they did not allow Tampa Bay to even get a shot on goal Courtland Sutton Jersey . Three things we learned1. Starting Petr Mrazek was a surprising move in this series, but it's impo sible to argue with the results. He has already stolen one game in this series for the Red Wings and on Tuesday night he stopped all 22 shots he faced, including a late game shorthanded breakaway on with the game still very much in doubt.2. Pavel Datsyuk is still the man for Detroit. He scored his second goal of the series in the first period while the Red Wings attempted 12 of the 18 shot attempts that were taken with him on the ice during his 15 minutes of even-strength ice time, most of which came against . That's pretty much what he does best. Shut down the other team's best player, score goals.3. Tampa Bay's Albert Okwuegbunam Jersey special teams are a major problem so far in this series. After their 0-for-5 night on the power play on Tuesday, including the aforementioned extended two-man advantage, they are just 2-for-15 in the series with the man advantage and have given up one power play goal in each of their two lo ses. Detroit's power P.J. Locke III Jersey play is one of the best in the NHL and the one clear advantage they have on paper in this series. If the Lightning keep giving them opportunities, and fail to capitalize on their own, this series might end up having a very surprising result.GIF of the night: .
