The Detroit Red Wings took nearly 40 shots but mustered just one goal in a 5-1 road loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night.

Raymond scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-1 in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Tampa Bay. Raymond recorded his fifth power-play goal of the campaign at 14:12 of the middle frame, but that was all Andrei Vasilevskiy would allow on a night in which Detroit almost doubled up Tampa Bay in shots on goal.

Some stat lines from this game spelled potential trouble for the Lightning. The Red Wings had gone 17-34 on the power play over their previous 10 games, and the Lightning put them on the power play six times. Also, Tampa Bay ceded most of the possession, allowing 40 shots on net and 77 shot attempts.

Raymond scored a power-play goal, as the Wings continued their stellar run on the power play (10th game with a goal in 11 games). The Wings were 1-for-6 on the power play. The Wings put 40 shots on Tampa goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy but in some ways that was a misguided statistic.

After a humbling loss in Tampa characterized by futility at the net front, the Red Wings must bounce back in a hurry ahead of tonight's game vs. the Stars
