Detroit — Get the game into overtime, and the Detroit Red Wings feel good about their chances these days.
Now, that’s not the ideal recipe for success. But it sure has been working.
They did it again Wednesday against the Boston Bruins, tied after 60 minutes, then Andreas Athanasiou scored his second goal of the game just 49 seconds into overtime, giving the Red Wings a 3-2 victory.
Athanasiou snapped a loose puck over goalie Tuukka Rask’s right shoulder, his team-leading ninth goal, giving the Wings (10-9-2) their ninth win in the last 11 games.
