Marco Kasper and the Detroit Red Wings have snapped their slump with a long-awaited breakthrough win.

Following five consecutive NHL defeats, the team featuring the Austrian export claimed a 2-0 road victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Raymond (34') and Brandsegg-Nygard (60'/EN) provided the goals.

Kasper logged 19:32 minutes of ice time in the contest—his highest mark since his comeback in mid-November.

The victory lifts the Red Wings to twelfth place in the Eastern Conference, leaving Detroit six points adrift of a playoff spot. In their next matchup, they will host the Boston Bruins. The Tampa Bay Lightning sit in third and will take on the Washington Capitals.
