GAME NOTES

* Petr Mrazek leads all playoff goalies with two shutouts while ranking sixth in goals-against average at 1.91 and seventh in save percentage at .937. Mrazek is the 14th goalie in Red Wings history to post two shutouts in the same playoff series and the third rookie to do so, joining Earl Robertson in 1937 vs. the Rangers and Harry Lumley in 1945 against the Maple Leafs. No Red Wings goalie has ever had three shutouts in the same series. The Red Wings are 12-1 in series when their goalie records two shutouts.

* Henrik Zetterberg has three assists but no goals against the Lightning. He has never failed to score in any of his previous 21 series with the Red Wings. He has two goals in his last 34 games dating back to Jan. 27.

* In Mrazek's last six starts vs. Tampa Bay, he's got a 4-2 record and 1.58 GAA with three shutouts. Those are the only three times this season the Lightning have been shut out. ... Tampa Bay's Ben Bishop is 13th in GAA at 2.21 and 20th in save percentage at .901.

* Several Tampa Bay players have been in a deeper playoff hole than the Lightning are this year and managed to advance. In 2011, the Lighting trailed the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-1 before rallying to win that series. Victor Hedman and Steven Stamkos were both part of that comeback. And last year, Brian Boyle and Anton Stralman played for the New York Rangers when they erased a 3-1 deficit against the Penguins. "It's all about belief, and belief that you can do it," Hedman told the Lightning's team website. "I'm not worried about this group at all. We know we can do it and that's kind of the mindset we touched on today."
