While the Red Wings were in Game 1, the Lightning established a physical style of play Detroit probably wasn’t expecting. The Wings don’t have a lot of bodies capable of matching that. Tampa Bay also can play fast, something Detroit wasn’t ready for during stretches of Game 1. With the game in Tampa, look for the Lightning to be able to continue to dictate the style of play.
