The Detroit Red Wings’ fourth game of the week against the Dallas Stars was a memorable one.
Goaltender Jonathan Bernier faced a mountain of shots compared to the molehill the Wings directed on net at the other end of the ice Saturday at Little Caesars Arena. The Stars ended up winning, 2-1 in overtime, on their 52nd shot on net.
Jamie Benn scored 32 seconds into the extra period after Filip Hronek turned over the puck. The loss left the Wings (17-25-8) mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.
Bernier and the penalty killers starred in the first period, with Bernier turning away 21 shots, five of them during two Stars power plays.
