The Lightning have won three of the last six series where they fell behind 2-1 and they're confident momentum will swing.
"This is far from over," forward Ondrej Palat told the Tampa Bay Times.
Tampa Bay was stifled by Red Wings rookie goalie Petr Mrazek on Tuesday as he made 22 saves en route to his first-career Stanley Cup playoffs shutout. Mrazek has stopped six goals on the 86 shots he's faced.
Lightning goalie Ben Bishop has also yielded six tallies in this set while turning aside 52 shots.
The Lightning needs to get its big guns going as Steven Stamkos has only two assists after finding the twine 43 times in the regular season. Tyler Johnson, for his part, has a team-best two goals.
The Red Wings are having no problem with their big names as Pavel Datsyuk lit the lamp for the second time this postseason in Game 3.
"He is better without the puck than he is with it, if you can imagine that," coach Mike Babcock told NHL.com.
Riley Sheahan also notched his first marker of the playoffs while Luke Glendening (empty net) scored his second goal.
The Lightning looks to tie the series up while the Red Wings hope to take a commanding 3-1 lead when the puck drops on Game 4 live tonight from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
