Sit back, compose yourself, and get ready to read something extraordinary.

The Red Wings actually won a hockey game Thursday.

The Wings came into Buffalo, where the Sabres are going through a bad stretch of hockey themselves, and defeated the Sabres, 4-3.

Dylan Larkin and Andreas Athanasiou scored in the shootout, as the Wings won the skills competition, 2-0.

The victory ended a 9-game winless streak (0-8-1) for the Wings, who also ended a nine-game road losing streak.

They hadn’t won since defeating Ottawa in a shootout Jan. 10 — and hadn’t won on the road since defeating Montreal on Dec. 14.
