CHICAGO — The Detroit Red Wings started well, giving the mothers along for the trip a reason to cheer.
They were not able to build on the good work, however, and their Sunday evening game against the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center ended with a 4-2 loss.
Filip Zadina and Luke Glendening scored in the first period, but the Blackhawks struck twice in the second period and Adam Boqvist put the Wings (10-30-3) in a hole in the third period. Dominik Kubalik added an empty-net goal with 20 seconds to play in regulation.
