Rookie forward Elmer Soderblom’s fourth goal of the season snapped a tie early in the third period and gave the Detroit Red Wings the lead for good as they downed the Tampa Bay Lightning 7-4 on Wednesday.

This has been quite the year for Nick Perbix. It started with a spot on the US Olympic team, then came the culmination of his college career, quickly followed up with his pro hockey debut with the Syracuse Crunch in April. This October it got even better with a call-up to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
