Coach doesn't understand why his team can't manage games better after squandering three-goal lead in overtime loss.

The Red Wings took a 4-1 lead in the second period after goals from some of their veteran leaders. When Alex DeBrincat stretched the lead to three, it seemed like a mountain too steep to climb for the Sabres. However, when Josh Doan tipped in a goal to end the period, the walls started to crumble in on Detroit.

After building a 4-1 lead in the second period, the Wings allowed four straight goals, the last on in OT for a 5-4 loss.

The Detroit Red Wings were cruising midway through the second period, scoring three goals in less than five minutes to take command, making it look easy. They ended up with just one point, however, squandering a three-goal lead and losing to the Buffalo Sabres 5-4 on Mattias Samuelsson’s goal at 1:05 of overtime.

There’s no doubt the Red Wings pushed their own detonation button Saturday. And it started late in the second period.

The Wings blew a three-goal third-period lead and watched Buffalo's Mattias Samuelsson score the winner at 1 minute, 5 seconds of overtime.

The Detroit Red Wings are working to get second-year forward Marco Kasper back to peak efficiency after he scored 19 goals last season.

Mattias Samuelsson scored at 1:05 of overtime as Buffalo rallied from a three-goal deficit to snap a five-game losing streak with a 5-4 win over Detroit.

The Rangers acquired Morrow in the K’Andre Miller trade with the Carolina Hurricanes this past offseason. The 2021 second-round pick who starred collegiately at UMASS has six points (one goal, five assists) in 16 NHL games with the Hurricanes. He also recorded 39 points (13 goals, 26 assists) in 52 games with AHL Chicago last season.
