East-worst Buffalo Sabres were 'way hungrier' than Detroit Red Wings

Red Wings' Jonathan Ericsson and Justin Abdelkader and coach Jeff Blashill discuss a third straight loss, this one a 3-2 defeat to the Sabres, the worst team in the Eastern Conference on Thursday, Feb. 22 at Little Caesars Arena.

The Detroit Red Wings wondered again what constitutes goaltender interference, but their latest loss surpassed one lost challenge.

The Wings delivered another subpar first period Thursday at Little Caesars Arena, careening them towards an eventual 3-2 loss in overtime to the Eastern Conference-worst Buffalo Sabres.

The Wings pushed back after a slow start to outshoot the Sabres, 37-30, but what lingered was the damage inflicted long before Marco Scandella ripped the puck past Jimmy Howard with 0.
