Detroit — Maybe it was the routine being disrupted, and certainly give credit to the opponent.
But the Red Wings didn’t look right Friday, while losing to the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1.
The Wings badly lost the special-teams battle, which didn't help either, while falling to 2-3 for the season.
Dylan Larkin scored his third goal of the season, a great individual effort, at 12 minutes 22 seconds of the third period, cutting the lead to 3-1.
But the Blackhawks' Mattias Janmark (empty net) scored a short-handed goal to cement the outcome.
