from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,
They outshot Los Angeles 38-25, received two power-play goals from Anthony Mantha and Dylan Larkin, and mainly outplayed the Kings.
The Wings did a much better job of getting the puck to the net, had scoring chances, and didn’t back down against the physical Kings.
But there will be no points earned for the standings.
Here were some other takeaways from the loss on the West Coast:...
Bad bounce: Tough night for Andreas Athanasiou. He had a breakaway late in the second period with the game tied 1-1 but watched as the puck bounced into the corner.
