PITTSBURGH — The Red Wings fell flat, again.
They left PPG Paints Arena Saturday ruing a 4-1 final against the Penguins, losing ground in the playoff race against one of the teams they're are chasing.
“We got outworked, out-skated,” Frans Nielsen said. “Coming back from a break, both teams — they played the right way. They were simple, they were getting pucks to the net, they didn’t force things too much.
