DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings won a game for the ages Saturday – sort of. Their oldest and youngest players combined to lead them to a 2-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning at Little Caesars Arena.

Evgenii Dadonov had a goal and an assist, Casey DeSmith stopped 33 shots in his second shutout of the season and Dallas beat St. Louis. Esa Lindell scored a power-play goal, Miro Heiskanen had an assist for the fourth straight game and Dallas won for the seventh time in its last nine road games.

Both teams tightened up defensively in the second period, so scoring chances were more limited. The Red Wings did break the tie, however. Marco Kasper got open in front of the Lightning net and redirected a puck off the post and in at 9:55.
