New York — If you were expecting a different looking Red Wings team coming out of that All-Star break, no such luck.
They pretty much looked like the Red Wings from most of this season Friday in a 4-2 loss to the New York Rangers.
The Red Wings rallied with two third-period goals, but it was after they trailed 4-0, and too large a deficit to overcome.
“They were on top of us, the ice tilted against us the first two periods,” coach Jeff Blashill said. “They had more jump, they were cleaner with the puck and they were out of the zone quicker and caused us to defend way more.
