Wings Blow Lead Late, Beat Capitals in Shootout

Hello folks and welcome back for another edition of Red Wings hockey!

I sure am glad to finally start wrapping up this nightmare portion of our schedule. This stretch of 7 games has taken its toll on the Wings. Entering this afternoon’s game against the Caps we had gone a dismal 0-4-1 in our last 5. Granted, each of the teams we’ve played is gunning for the President’s Trophy, save St. Louis, but still. And think about this: when the puck dropped at 2:00PM this afternoon against Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals, the Wings had only 25 hours before they’d be facing Sidney Crosby and the Penguins.
