In their last home game at Joe Louis Arena, the Red Wings sent it out in style, beating the Devils, 4-1, in the midst of an emotional atmosphere and sellout crowd.
While there was a Tigers game taking place across town, fans gathered outside Joe Louis Arena to celebrate the Red Wings’ final home game at the historic venue. The Joe even had a red carpet rolled out for the current and former players to walk in on and greet thousands of fans.
Nicklas Lidstrom even threw out the first pitch at the Tigers’ game before heading over to Joe Louis to take in the final game and festivities.
