Last night, the Detroit Red Wings made a statement. Despite captain Dylan Larkin's injury, they pulled off an adrenaline-pumping battle against the Montreal Canadiens, ending the night with a 3-1 victory.
Believe it or not, last night's achievement was acually a record. Brian Fisher of Locked on Red Wings reported that the Red Wings are the first team to defeat the Habs in regulation with above a .900 save percentage. The game had everything: an adrenaline-pumping atmosphere, gritty physicality and a highlight reel-worthy go-ahead goal that got everyone in Little Caesar's Arena off their feet.
