Devils nearly strike again: Wings 3, Devils 1u200b
Just seconds after scoring their first goal of the game, the Devils nearly added another to trim the Wings' lead to one, but it was overruled. The referees were called to the monitor and determined the puck was kicked into the net, negating the goal.
Frans Nielson was called for tripping 5:51 into the third, giving the Devils another power play. The crowd responded by throwing more octopi on the ice. The penalty kill did the job, though, as the Red Wings got back to full strength unscathed.
