Giving up the second two goal lead in a row, the Red Wings lost 3-2 to the LA Kings tonight.
The Red Wings just can’t seem to hold onto a two goal lead and managed to throw away another game against a team they trail to get into the playoffs. The second period was the team’s weak point even though they gave up two goals in the third. Until a break to replace a piece of glass, the Wings were trapped in their own zone.
The big news inside the Joe Louis Arena was that while the game played below, a sellout crowd looked on while an aallegedly drunken fan attempted to jump from the rafters above. Shortly before the start of the third period, a section of the arena was emptied. The fan managed to sneak by security and became tangled in wiring while jumping from the catwalk. A piece of fireboard held him in the ceiling while the police untangled and arrested the man.
In Play! Man of the Game: Anze Kopitar. Kopitar had three points, scoring LA’s first goal and assisting on both the second goals.
