DETROIT (AP) — Andreas Athanasiou celebrated his second goal by leaping off the ice to bump chests and hug Tyler Bertuzzi.
“He gets pretty excited when we score, so I thought I’d get excited with him,” Athanasiou said after scoring twice to help the Detroit Red Wings beat the New York Islanders 2-1. “He was pretty hype and we got the lead, so it definitely was a good feeling for all of us.”
Yes, the Red Wings believes they’re still playing for something even though they will be relegated to watching the playoffs for a third straight season.
