Michael Rasmussen and Andreas Athanasiou scored again for the Detroit Red Wings in Pittsburgh. Both players have recorded at least one point in every preseason game they have played in this season. Jeff Blashill clearly wanted to get a good look at Athanasiou in all situations. AA played 23:32 minutes this afternoon, or a lot for a forward!
Trevor Daley would record the game-winning goal. The play was made by Joe Veleno though. An outstanding effort on the backcheck led to a take away by Veleno. He was around his blueline, turned and lifted a beautiful saucer pass connecting with Trevor Daley who split the defense and broke in on a one on one and beat the Pittsburgh goaltender with a shot from around the hash marks.
