Good Road Game By The Wings But Still A Loss

from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,

The holiday break is going to feel just a little sour.

The slumping Red Wings controlled a large portion of the game Sunday in Toronto, but the Maple Leafs found a way to secure a 5-4 overtime victory.

John Tavares tied it at 4 with 7.6 seconds left in the third period, tipping a shot past goaltender Jonathan Bernier to force overtime. Then in the extra session, Kasperi Kapanen scored his second goal — he opened the game’s scoring at 27 seconds then closed it in overtime — with a spinning backhander in the slot past Bernier at 1 minute, 53 seconds to cap a frustrating night for the Wings.
