Puck bounces Red Wings' way in shootout win over Caps

Detroit — Maybe it was time for the Red Wings to get a break.

In Saturday’s 3-2 victory over the league-leading Washington Capitals, the Red Wings got one — although it took until the shootout to decide the outcome.

In the shootout, the Red Wings outscored Washington 2-1 with Henrik Zetterberg scoring the clincher — Zetterberg is 3-for-3 on shootouts this season.

The victory ended a five-game losing streak (0-4-1) for the Red Wings (23-25-10, 56 points).

“We feel like we’ve done some real good stuff, but we didn’t win,” said coach Jeff Blashill of recent games.
