Following a few solid victories, the Detroit Red Wings hope to keep things rolling early on against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday night.
Many were concerned about how the Red Wings were going to look this season after getting trounced in their home opener last week against the Montreal Canadiens. However, the team has instilled some belief in Hockeytown following back-to-back victories over an Original Six rival, the Toronto Maple Leafs, earlier this week. While there still is a lot of hockey to be played, a couple of wins this early in the season has seemingly renewed some optimism in Detroit.

Then, the Red Wings went up against the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Wednesday. Detroit seemed unintimidated by its opponent, using timely goal scoring and solid goaltending from Cam Talbot to come away with a 4-1 win.
The Lightning have lost three of their first four games of the season, only beating the Boston Bruins this past Monday, and have just three points thus far.
