| (MySportsbook) - It's hardly a shocking occurrence when an NHL head coach gets fired, but few people could have seen the Tampa Bay Lightning's dismissal of Barry Melrose coming. Melrose waited over 13 years to make his return to an NHL bench and only had 16 games to prove his worth to the Tampa brass. Now, I wasn't a fan of the hiring in the first place considering how much the game has changed since Melrose last was a head coach with Los Angeles in the mid-1990s, but it's hard to blame him for the Lightning's |

| Tampa, FL (MySportsbook) - Johan Franzen led a balanced scoring attack with a goal and an assist, as the Detroit Red Wings rallied from an early deficit to hold off the Tampa Bay Lightning, 4-3.

It was the first meeting between the clubs since Detroit clinched last year's Stanley Cup with a Game 6 win in Pittsburgh. Jordan Staal used |
