One of the strangest NHL seasons ever came to a close Saturday for the Red Wings.
And of course the Red Wings and Columbus went to overtime, and dragged it even a little further, before the Blue Jackets' Max Domi scored with 20.4 seconds left to defeat the Wings 5-4.
The victory gives both teams 48 points this season, but the Wings (19-27-10) finish ahead of Columbus (18-26-12), and out of the Central Division basement, by virtue of having more regulation wins.
After a dreadful 2019-20 season, the Wings showed progress and cause for optimism for the future.
