Detroit — The Red Wings were better, but that much needed victory proved elusive.
After getting embarrassed over the weekend in Pittsburgh, and with rumors about coach Jeff Blashill's job security building, the Wings came out Wednesday and took the New York Rangers into overtime before losing 5-4.
Andrew Copp (Ann Arbor/Michigan) converted a two-on-one rush with Artemi Panarin giving the Rangers the victory at 1 minute 34 seconds of overtime.
The Rangers tied the game 4-4 on Chris Kreider's 46th goal of the season, on the power play, at 16:22.
Kreider got a pass near the goal line and snapped a shot that bounded off the skate of Moritz Seider and past goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic.
