Expanded Detail

Detroit’s overtime loss to New Jersey produced a split result: the Red Wings gained a point, but the Devils took the extra point with the 5-4 win. The game needed overtime to decide. Detroit also may have discovered a more effective scoring combination on Tuesday, Oct. 13, though that potential positive did not translate into a victory. In hockey, overtime outcomes can influence standings and, over time, playoff positioning, so the point could matter beyond the final score.
