game score,and commentary...

New York Rangers 2,Red Wings 1,overtime loss... even though the Red Wings lost,it was the best game that the Red Wings have played in last three weeks... the game was non-conference game,which does not hurt as much... the key,with the banged-up Red Wings,was to come out of New York,with a point,and they stood toe to toe with one of the best teams,in NHL,and came out of NYC,with a big point... with eight major starters out(including both first line goaltenders),the Red Wings fought like champions,and had their best overall game,in about a month... you have to rebuild confidence,and this game is confidence-building,and the point does not hurt-back in fourth place,in Western Conference,over idle Nashville Predators...
