K’Andre Miller tied the game with a great one-timer with just over 10 minutes left in the final period. Jimmy Vesey was the one who finally made the crowd favorites famous. The American scored with less than five minutes to play.
Quebecer Alexis Lafrenière scored his second assist of the game in this win. He also fed Artemi Panarin in the second period. With the redaction of the game report, the very first pick of the 2020 draft ended his short drought of three games without collecting a point. This season he has now collected 14 points in 21 games.
The Red Wings’ answer came with the bats of Mortiz Seider and Robby Fabbri. The first hit the mark on the power play. In this duel, the Michigan club benefited from five chances to play with one more man on the ice.
