Detroit — Sam Gagner has only played 46 games in a Red Wings uniform since arriving at the trade deadline last season.

Greiss beat out second star Edmonton’s
Already trailing 2-0 Sunday, Detroit Red Wings goalie Jonathan Bernier stared down Tampa Bay Lightning forward Mathieu Joseph and kicked away the quality scoring chance. The quick-reflex save propelled a 4-on-2 break the other way, which Filip Zadina converted and pulled the Red Wings to within one. Bernier couldn’t save the punch-less Red Wings during
