Watch: Red Wings' Athanasiou follows up brilliant near miss with opening goal

Andreas Athanasiou would not be denied.

The Detroit Red Wings forward opened the scoring in Game 3 with his first career playoff goal after pounding a one-timer past Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop.

The goal came late in the second period, and could have been the 21-year-old's second of the game had he made good on a ridiculous spin-o-rama effort in the first period.
