Detroit — Red Wings fans at Little Caesars Arena went home Thursday thoroughly entertained.
The Red Wings lost 6-5 to the Minnesota Wild in the shootout, and they've been doing a lot of that lately (losing). But all the extracurricular activities that happened made for quite a fun hockey atmosphere.
Minnesota won the shootout 2-0, with Mats Zuccarello and Kevin Fiala scoring, while Jakub Vrana and Dylan Larkin missed for the Wings.
Wild star forward Kirill Kaprizov scored his 29th goal in the third period, breaking a 4-4 tie. Kaprizov was knocked down twice by Moritz Seider on the shift, but persisted, went to the net, and knocked in a rebound.
