Tarasov blanks Lightning as Red Wings end losing streak

Daniil Tarasov turned aside 31 attempts to earn his second scoreless outing this season, while Detroit defeated Tampa Bay 2-0 in Tampa on November 14. The win ended Detroit’s five-game losing streak. Lucas Raymond scored and finished with two points, while Michael Brandsegg-Nygard added a goal.

Detroit gained an advantage near the end of the second period. After Tarasov made a stick save against Jake Guentzel, William Wallinder sent the puck up ice to Raymond. Raymond controlled it, split the defense and scored on a breakaway at 13:12, beating Andrei Vasilevskiy to the glove side.

Vasilevskiy made 20 saves, but Tampa Bay was held scoreless for the first time since December 8, 2025. The defeat was also the Lightning’s first at home this season, bringing a franchise-record streak of eight consecutive home wins to start the season to an end. Tampa Bay failed to score on two third-period power plays, and Brandsegg-Nygard secured the win with a goal into an empty net with 43 seconds remaining.

The Lightning did not have center Anthony Cirelli or defenseman Erik Cernak available for a second straight game. Brayden Point missed his third consecutive game. Detroit is scheduled to host Boston on Wednesday, while Tampa Bay hosts Washington on Tuesday.
