Detroit Red Wings fight back from 4-goal deficit, beat Pittsburgh Penguins, 5-4

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. At least, it works if you’re the Detroit Red Wings, who blistered Pittsburgh goalie Casey DeSmith with 46 shots — their sixth game with at least 40 shots this season — and rallied from an early four-goal deficit to force overtime against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night at PPG Paints Arena.

The Wings outshot the Penguins by 15 in regulation (44-29), but Pittsburgh got most of its offense in the first period — four goals past Detroit netminder Ville Husso, who didn’t make it to the first intermission.
