Detroit Red Wings lose high-scoring season finale to Columbus in overtime, 5-4

The Detroit Red Wings wrapped up an unusual season Saturday with the Columbus Blue Jackets, engaging in a back-and-forth affair in the finale.

Their matchup Saturday at Nationwide Arena against the Blue Jackets went to overtime before the Wings lost, 5-4.

The Wings (19-27-10) finish seventh in the Central Division but will have to wait to find out where they finish in the overall standings, because the pandemic has forced the Vancouver Canucks to reschedule games through May 19.

Calvin Pickard got the start in net. Jakub Vrana put the Wings up early, but Cam Atkinson took advantage of being left alone to tie the game in the first period.
