LOS ANGELES — The Detroit Red Wings kept battling, kept trying for the redemption they sought.
Their Saturday game against the Los Angeles Kings came just two days after a setback that left the Wings searching for a bounce-back. They overcame a bad start, and were able to whittle a three-goal deficit to one, but fell just short in a 4-3 loss at Crypto.com Arena.
Dominik Kubalik scored on a power play in the first period, as did Dylan Larkin in the third period. The Kings also got two power play goals, but while the special teams battle essentially was a draw, it took the Wings until the third period to make it hard on Kings backup goaltender Cal Petersen.
