The Wings started out slow, but did pick up the pace later in the first period.

Teams exchanged goals in the second and on to the third tied 1-1.

Boston scored first in the third period but Athanasiou tied the game just over two minutes later.

No more goals so off they went to OT.

After a gret save by Jimmy Howars, Athanasiou with the game winner.

Below, Detroit team stats and goals.

Hope everyone has a great and peaceful Thanksgiving tomorrow.

I'll be back in the morning with the recap but once the clock strikes noon, I disappear for the rest of the holiday.

Wings play again on Friday, 4:00pm puck drop in Washington.

Then there's this. (who's good at reading between the lines?)
