It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.
Or so they say.
Unfortunately for the Detroit Red Wings on Monday night, they started hot, ended even hotter, but dropped the comeback attempt when Dominik Kubalik froze Thomas Greiss on a 2-on-1 in overtime as the Chicago Blackhawks escaped with a 3-2 win.
The overtime loss gave Detroit (4-10-3) points in back-to-back games for the first time this season, but was the Wings’ third loss in as many tries against the Blackhawks (8-5-4). The Red Wings were coming off a 4-2 win over the Predators in Nashville, Tenn.
