DETROIT - Little was going the Detroit Red Wings' way the first half of Tuesday's game against the Vancouver Canucks.
They were being outshot by a wide margin and were on their heels. They had a pair of coach's challenges go against them. They faced a two-goal deficit midway through the second period.
Earlier this season, they might have folded, or they might have come back and played just well enough to lose.
Lately, they have been more resilient. On this night, they got stronger as the game progressed, tied it early in the third period and won it 3-2 in a shootout at Little Caesars Arena.
