Detroit — The Red Wings didn't end the exhibition season probably the way they wanted.
The Wings ended the warm-up games Saturday with a 3-1 loss in Buffalo.
Sam Gagner was the lone Wings' goal scorer, as the Wings finished the exhibition season with a 4-4-0 record.
Tage Thompson, Zemgus Girgensons (shorthanded) and Vinnie Hinostroza (empty net) countered for Buffalo.
It was Girgensons' goal that was the difference.
Wings goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic attempted to handle the puck in front of him and batted the puck off defenseman Moritz Seider, directly to Girgensons.
