The Detroit Red Wings lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in overtime in the last regular season matchup between the NHL’s greatest rivalry before Detroit moves to the Eastern Conference.
Viktor Stalberg opened scoring in the second period. Johan
Franzen and Cory Emmerton put the Wings up 2-1 until Jonathan Toews tied the
game with under three minutes left in the third. Brandon Saad scored the winning goal in the shootout.
Detroit has to average at least a point from every game left
against a playoff team, and that’s how they played this game. It looked as if
from the puck drop they were playing for overtime. Once overtime started, both
teams looked as if they were just trying to get unscathed to a shootout.
In Play! Man of the Game: Corey Crawford. Crawford kept Chicago alive during Detroit's few pushes and held fast in the shootout to gain Chicago the season sweep of Detroit.
