Thursday night’s game between the Red Wings and Capitals at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit had a bit of everything. A late comeback, a shootout, some NHL history and one of the wildest goals you’ll ever see.
Late in the third period, Red Wings right winger Alex DeBrincat scored two goals in the final two minutes of regulation to force overtime and secure a point in the standings for Detroit. The game-tying goal came with just 53 seconds left as he dumped the puck into the zone, not trying to put a shot on goal.
