It’s an Easter miracle!
The Detroit Red Wings appear well on their way to breaking a streak of futility in Tampa Bay, taking a 4-0 lead into the 3rd period against the Lightning. What led them there?
Following captain Dylan Larkin’s late 1st period tally to give them the lead, Detroit tacked three more goals on the board in the 2nd period in a span of three minutes.
First, former Lightning forward Valtteri Filppula got in on the fun:
Sheesh that came off Valtteri Filppula's stick in a hurry.

Scoring three goals against the defending champion Lightning is usually a tall order. But three goals in three minutes? We’ll take it!
