Pittsburgh – For a lot of Detroit Red Wings fans, this team can’t do anything right.
Now, they’re ruining their draft position.
Who saw this coming? Sunday they defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-2, just 24 hours after defeating the league-leading Washington Capitals in a shootout.
So, the Red Wings (24-25-10, 58 points), last in the Eastern Conference, knocked off the two best teams in the East in the same weekend.
Who figured that?
Pittsburgh only lost for the fourth time this season at home (24-4-3).
Tomas Tatar and Thomas Vanek scored 1:49 apart early in the third period, while Nick Jensen and Steve Ott had first period goals and Luke Glendening added an empty net goal while goalie Petr Mrazek built upon Saturday’s excellent performance with another strong outing.
