TEMPE, Ariz. — The Detroit Red Wings had the crowd on their side as they played in a college-sized arena.
Their game Tuesday at Mullett Arena offered a setting unique in the NHL, with seating capacity less than a third of most arenas. The stands were heavy on ready and white — with a smattering of empty seats — as the Wings made their only visit of the season.
The Wings outshot the Arizona Coyotes, 39-21 in regulation, but it was the Coyotes who possessed the puck almost the entire overtime. The Wings ended up settling for a point, falling 4-3 in a shootout.
