Watch highlights of Red Wings’ 4-3 loss to Anaheim Ducks
They’ve outscored the Red Wings 13-6 in a three-game win streak at Joe Louis Arena in the regular season, and captain Ryan Getzlaf found the net with 24 seconds left in a 3-2 victory in the most recent visit October 11, 2014. Mrazek’s shutout was his third of the season and eighth of his young career.
For Buffalo (19-25-4, 42 points), Robin Lehner played strong but ultimately fell.
NY goaltender Ken McAuley makes 43 saves.
Sabres coach Dan Bylsma challenged that Glendening was offside as he carried the puck into the offensive zone, but the goal was upheld on replay.
Jordan Martinook scored 22 seconds into the third period to snap a tie, Shane Doan had a goal and an assist, and Arizona overcame a weird goal by Los Angeles to beat the Kings.
With the Wings playing back-to-back nights, Jimmy Howard might be in net.
Riley Sheahan was between Tatar and Tomas Jurco, while Luke Glendening centered the fourth line between Joakim Andersson and Teemu Pulkkinen.
“I knew he shot it, but I know where it was coming through”, Rattie said. “He made a nice pass, it’s tough to move that long way for the shot”, Lehner said.
“I thought we created enough chances to score than one goal, especially in the first 10 minutes, but we’ve got to put the puck in the net”, Zetterberg said. Anderson has allowed four goals in his last three games.
Ten of Howard’s saves came during Anaheim power plays. “He hadn’t played in a while, and played with confidence, gave us a chance to win”. It was a big win for the Red Wings who have struggled offensively in their recent outings.
The Lightning shut out the Panthers in the first period but the floodgates opened in the second as Florida hammered home four goals as forwards Jonathan Huberday and Nick Bjugstad each scored a goal and an assist. “We got 30 shots against a really good team, and we played well. It was throughout our lineup”, Bylsma said.
Up Next: The Sabres will be off on Saturday and then practice Sunday before heading to NY to meet the Rangers Monday night in Madison Square Garden.
