Trips to Detroit haven’t been too kind to the Kings in recent years; Friday marked the club’s seventh-straight loss at Joe Louis, dating back to March 9, 2011, where they’ve gone 0-6-1 since.
Jhonas Enroth suffered his first loss in a Kings uniform, stopping 26 of the 29 shots he faced in his fourth start of the season.
Tomas Tatar got the Red Wings on the board with just over five minutes left to play in the first when he buried a nifty Justin Abdelkader pass past Jhonas Enroth to give Detroit a 1-0 lead.
