Detroit — The Red Wings blew a two-goal advantage in the third period and a one-goal lead with less than a minute left to lose to the Avalanche, 4-3, Sunday in overtime, a game they plainly should have won.
Nathan MacKinnon scored his seventh goal of the season on a hard wrist shot from the circle to the right of Jimmy Howard, beating him cleanly at 2:55 in overtime.
Carl Soderberg tied the game with 46 seconds left in regulation at 19:14 of the third period after the Avalanche lifted their goalie for an extra attacker.
