TAMPA -- Nikita Kucherov and Jake Guentzel each had a goal and two assists for the Tampa Bay Lightning in a 5-1 win against the Detroit Red Wings at Amalie Arena on Saturday. Kucherov, who recorded his 600th NHL assist in the second period, also extended his point streak to eight games (four goals, 10 assists).

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.

Nikita Kucherov and Jake Guentzel each had a goal and two assists, helping the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Detroit Red Wings 5-1.

It was 4-0 before Lucas Raymond for the Red Wings on the scoreboard at 14:12 of the second by blasting in a one-timer on a pass from Patrick Kane on the power play. It was his 19th goal. The Red Wings are 18 for 40 on the power play in the past 11 games. But it was too much of an uphill climb at that point.

Nikita Kucherov swiped the puck and converted on a breakaway with three minutes remaining as the Tampa Bay Lightning broke a tie and claimed the season series from the host Pittsburgh Penguins, 5-2, on Sunday.

Jake Guentzel, who won a Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh in 2017, had two assists to become the second player in Lightning history with at least 20 goals and 40 points in his first 40 games with the franchise. Guentzel signed a seven-year deal with the team in the offseason.
