Red Wings Snap Losing Streak by Defeating Lightning 4-2, Perron Nets Decisive Goal

Monday, April 1st, 2024

In Tampa, Florida, David Perron was the hero for the Detroit Red Wings as he netted the decisive goal with only 2:40 remaining, propelling his team to a 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. This triumph brought an end to the Red Wings' streak of four consecutive losses, while simultaneously halting the Lightning's impressive run of nine games without a defeat.

Perron managed to secure the lead by directing a rebound past Andrei Vasilevskiy, effectively breaking the game's 2-2 deadlock. Additionally, Patrick Kane, Robby Fabbri, and Lucas Raymond each contributed by scoring for the Red Wings. The team's victory was further solidified thanks to Alex Lyon, who successfully defended 34 shots, thereby enhancing the Red Wings’ chances of securing a wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.

On the Lightning's side, Anthony Cirelli and Steven Stamkos were the goalscorers. Despite this setback, the Lightning continue to be seen as a strong contender. Looking ahead, the Red Wings are set to welcome the New York Rangers on Friday, while the Lightning will embark on a three-game journey starting in Toronto on Wednesday.

A notable moment occurred when the Lightning enlisted Kyle Konin as their emergency backup goaltender, following an injury to Jonas Johansson. This marked Konin's first involvement in an NHL game since playing for the St. Louis Blues in 2021.
