BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Detroit Red Wings’ final meeting of the season with the Buffalo Sabres started with a shot and ended with a celebration.
It took a patient performance before the Wings had reason to celebrate during Monday's matinee at KeyBank Center, where a shorthanded goal sparked a rally. Dylan Larkin scored at 2:07 of overtime to secure a 3-2 victory and a 4-0 sweep of the Sabres.
The victory improved the Wings (18-17-5) to 5-11-3 on the road.
Jeff Skinner spun around and scored at 9:21 of the third period. The Wings challenged the goal — the second time of the game — but lost, which set up a penalty kill.
