The NHL pushes back the start time to Red Wings-Lightning after Lions-Buccaneers is scheduled for 3 PM
Sunday's game between the Detroit Red Wings and Tampa Bay Lightning (originally scheduled for 5 PM at Little Caesars Arena) has been pushed back to 7 PM to account for a different matchup between Tampa Bay and Detroit on Sunday afternoon in downtown Detroit.
After the Detroit Lions knocked off former quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday night, the Lions will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Ford Field at 3 PM this Sunday.
Last week, coach Derek Lalonde described his admiration for the Lions and coach Dan Campbell. "They transformed their team from growing to expecting," he said last Friday. "I thought that was pretty neat. Even Coach Campbell last year, they had that 7-1 stretch, and he said expectations have changed. And that's a different pressure. A lot different pressure. We're not there yet, but we're flirting with that."
If the revelry following last Sunday's Lion's victory (the first since 1992 and the first playoff game ever played in the city) is any indicator, this coming Sunday will be an electric afternoon and evening in downtown Detroit.
