Detroit — For these past two days it’s been difficult to distinguish which team was chasing a playoff berth and the one in last place.
The Red Wings are the team in the Central Division cellar but didn’t look like it against Columbus, which looked lethargic.
And the Wings took advantage both days, Sunday completing a two-game weekend sweep with a 4-1 victory Sunday.
Michael Rasmussen drove to the net and banged in a rebound goal at 2 minutes, 51 seconds of the third period, snapping a 1-1 tie.
Columbus challenged goalie interference, and there was some contact, but it was officially ruled a goal for Rasmussen, his first this season.
