Kanata, Ontario — This time there was no third-period rally, as there has been during much of the recent winning streak.
And the Red Wings paid for it, losing 2-1 to the Ottawa Senators.
The loss ended a 4-game winning streak for the Red Wings, who have won seven of their last nine.
Michael Rasmussen scored for the Wings, who travel to New Jersey for a Saturday afternoon game to close out this two-game trip.
That is, if they are able to get away from Ottawa where an impending snowstorm was canceling flights already Thursday evening.
