The Red Wings didn't end the exhibition season probably the way they wanted.
The Wings ended the warm-up games Saturday with a 3-1 loss in Buffalo.
Sam Gagner was the lone Wings' goal scorer, as the Wings finished the exhibition season with a 4-4-0 record.
Considering the regular season begins Thursday, it wasn't a great way to lead into the games that'll count.
"Last tune-up before the regular season, especially early on, we have to make better plays, get open for each other, execute, be harder on pucks" Gagner said in a Zoom call with media afterward.
