Detroit Red Wings fall into big hole early, late comeback fails in 4-3 loss to Blue Jackets

A home stand that showed the worst and best of the Detroit Red Wings ended with a thriller.

It was late to come Saturday at Little Caesars Arena, with the Wings spotting the Columbus Blue Jackets a four-goal lead, but the deficit was down to one with four minutes to play. Their rally came up just short, with the Wings losing, 4-3 to the team with the worst record in the Eastern Conference.

Olli Määttä was credited with a goal six minutes into the third period because he was the last Wings player to touch the puck before Mathieu Olivier knocked it into his own net.
