The Lightning beat the Red Wings 6-4 in the season opener for both teams, but c’mon, it’s October, no need to sweat win-loss records. Now is the time for fluke goals.
Detroit defenseman Danny DeKeyser was just trying to dump the puck into the Tampa zone, but on its way around the glass it struck a stanchion, leapt out toward goalie Ben Bishop, and bounced in off his leg. Good goal.
