Well the first two periods went well with the Wings up 4-1 going into the third period.

I did not read the comments in the live blog today but imagine a few of you mentioned or thought oh no, the dreaded three goal lead.

The third period was all Washington. 4-2, 4-3, tie game late in the 3rd period with their goalie pulled and the Wings one man down due to a penalty.

OT they went...

Tatar wins it! Just imagine if the Wings were actually in a playoff race, the nail biting, the sweaty palms, etc....

Goals below. and Detroit team stats...
