Here’s where you can watch Game 3 of the Eastern Conference first round playoff series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Detroit Red Wings on TV.

After a hard-hitting Game 2, the Detroit Red Wings will return to home ice in desperation mode down 2-0 in their Eastern Conference first round playoff series against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Game 3 of the Red Wings-Lightning series can be seen on CNBC on Sunday evening at 7:00 p.m. Eastern. CBC and Fox Sports Detroit will also have coverage of the contest.

A number of bloody scrums broke out on Friday night, which was to be expected after the two teams met in the first round last year. Tampa Bay looked impressive in all facets of the game to pull away in a 5-2 victory and put Detroit in a tough situation.

The Lightning have received great production from their first line despite playing without the injured Steven Stamkos. Nikita Kucherov has three goals, while Tyler Johnson continues to play well in the postseason with a team-high six points.

Detroit is still looking for some offense, but got a good sign on Friday with a goal from star rookie Dylan Larkin, who struggled in Game 1. The Red Wings may need Pavel Datsyuk and Gustav Nyquist to join Larkin on the scoresheet to make it a series.

Game 2 was capped by an all-out line brawl, and things only figure to get nastier as the contentious series goes on.
