Despite a fantastic performance by Filip Zadina, the Red Wings collapsed in a single period – again.
Heading into the matchup, the most interesting storyline of the night was that fans were finally getting the long awaited battle of the Svechnikovs – Detroit’s Evgeny, and Caroline’s Andrei. Both found the scoresheet tonight, Evgeny notching an assist, and Andrei finished with a goal and an assist.
