Red Wings rally falls short, Blue Jackets win 4-3

Detroit - After consecutive wins over elite teams such as Winnipeg and Toronto, this was unexpected.

The Red Wings did lose, 4-3 to the last-place Columbus Blue Jackets, but as has been the case in these types of games this season, when the Wings have fallen behind early, they made it interesting in the end.

Very interesting, cutting a 4-0 deficit to 4-3 before seeing the rally stall.

Olli Maatta (Columbus' Mathieu Olivier scored into his own net, Maatta touched puck last) and Jake Walman scored third period goals to cut the lead to 4-2 and make another unexpected comeback, which the Wings have had this season, possible.
