Nashville a 5-on-3 advantage for 1:34 spanning the second and third periods. Lyon robbed Steven Stamkos with the shaft of his stick late in the second period, but Stamkos made it 2-2 at 32 seconds of the third with a power-play goal.

The Red Wings placed a lot of emphasis on these first five games of the season. It hasn't been a perfect start, but thank goodness for playing the Nashville Predators during that span. The Wings earned their second win Saturday in the five games — both against Nashville — with a 5-2 road victory over the Predators.
