Detroit − Different type of game, but same frustrating result for the Red Wings.
After losing badly to Buffalo on Halloween night, the Wings staged a fine rally Wednesday, forcing overtime, but ultimately lost 5-4 in the shootout.
Buffalo's Jack Quinn was the lone goal scorer in the shootout, clinching the Sabres' win.
David Perron and two Oskar Sundqvist goals in the third period tied the game 4-4 after the Wings looked headed for another disappointing loss and trailing 4-1.
The Wings had a 1 minute, 27 second two-man advantage in the final two minutes of regulation time, but the Wings failed to convert, capping an 0-for-7 night on the power play and forcing overtime.
