• Box score
Game notes: The Red Wings topped the Lightning, 4-2, in the season’s first meeting in Tampa two weeks ago. Now, the home fans will get to “welcome back” former head coach Jeff Blashill, now a Lightning assistant. Blashill shepherded the Wings during a transition period in the franchise, making the playoffs just once in seven seasons — his first in 2014. The Wings went 204-261-72 under him. Detroit has fallen behind in its bid to make the postseason, going 0-4-2 in its past six games, and frustration is mounting. Tampa Bay has won five of six since losing to the Wings on Dec. 6. … The Wings play at Ottawa on Friday, then are off until Dec. 28.
