Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan called out his players after they blew a three-goal lead against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night.

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

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 last time that the New York Rangers won four games in a row was 13 months ago, Oct. 14-22, 2024. That winning streak began with a home-ice victory over the Detroit Red Wings. And on Sunday at Madison Square Garden, the Rangers try to extend their current winning streak to four, when they host the very same Red Wings.

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.

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.

Josh Doan and Thompson each had a goal and an assist, and Alex Tuch and Ryan McLeod scored for Buffalo (6-8-4), which was 0-4-1 during its skid and won its first road game of the season (1-5-2). Colten Ellis made 24 saves and picked up his first NHL point with a third-period assist.

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.
