The Detroit Red Wings took a 5-4 OT decision over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday night, losing Michael Rasmussen in the process due to a dirty elbow from Trevor Zegras, and losing a 4-1 lead over the course of the 2nd and 3rd periods, surrendering a point to the Ducks as well.
Detroit splits the season series with Anaheim 1-and-1, with Anaheim taking 3 points out of the 2 games.
Detroit ends up going 1-0-and-1 on the weekend, taking 3 out of 4 points thanks to two overtime games, including Saturday’s 4-3 loss to Minnesota–whom the Wings play on Tuesday in Minneapolis-St. Paul.
Patrick Kane scored a glorious breakaway goal to end the affair…
