The Detroit Red Wings’ penalty killers kept the game close; the power play units did not make it close enough.
The Wings' three-game winning streak ended Thursday at Little Caesars Arena when the Washington Capitals used two quick goals to claim a 2-0 victory.
Zach Fucale made 21 saves to earn the distinction of being the first goaltender in NHL history to shut out Detroit in his first NHL game. He did a good job — but the Wings didn’t generate the same buzz from two nights earlier against the Oilers and went 0-for-4 on power plays.
