Panthers 3, Red Wings 1: Offense shows up late as Detroit loses for fifth time in seven games | MLive.com
An unfortunate and disappointing loss. There is no need to panic, we were bound to hit a rough patch eventually. But, we have been in this patch for long enough now and I would be very glad if we could win a couple of consecutive games.

3-on-3 won’t keep NHL teams from wanting overtime – Sportsnet.ca
My ideal scenario would be if the NHL brought back ties, thus eliminating any possible gimmicks to force a winner. And while 3-on-3 overtime is less gimmicky than shootouts, you cannot deny the fact that it is still a fabricated way to force a winner out of every game. However, ties are not coming back, and as a result, 3-on-3 OT is by far the next best option. I am not a fan of playing the entire OT period on 3-on-3, and would rather the NHL go 4-on-4 for four minutes. After that there should be a one minute period where if a whistle blows, teams switch to 3-on-3. If no whistle has blown by the five minute mark, then a buzzer goes off, and teams go to 3-on-3. By doing this, there would be less of a risk that momentum is killed by forcing teams to drop a player.

Five backup goaltenders who could find starting jobs next season | The Hockey News
By no means do I think that Jonas Gustavsson can land a starting job next season with another NHL team. However, since he joined the Wings, when he has been healthy, the monster has played really well. The problem is, he has rarely been healthy. He is only 30 years old, and if he can land a backup job next season where he is healthy and plays consistent hockey, I do not think the door for him to be a starter has shut just yet.
