Red Wings let another game slip late as playoff odds shrink further: 5 thoughts

DETROIT — It was right there for the Detroit Red Wings: up 3-2, a defensive-zone faceoff and 21 seconds standing between them and a big regulation win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.But, as has been the case so many times over the last five weeks, they just couldn’t get the finish. The Blue Jackets’ Sean Monahan won the draw to kick off a set play — up to the point, over to Adam Fantilli — that tied the game, and the latest Red Wings heartbreak was in motion.
