Alex DeBrincat has been on an absolute tear for the Wings, piling up four goals and an assist over his last two games. He’ll be bumped up to the top line alongside captain Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond, with rookie Emmitt Finnie sliding down to the second unit after going nine straight without a point.

Since Todd McLellan put Kasper on a wing on the third line, with Nate Danielson and Mason Appleton, there has been a glimmer of hope.

The Detroit Red Wings get set for the second half of a back-to-back on Sunday, as they pay a visit to the New York Rangers.

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 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.

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.

The Rangers acquired Morrow in the K’Andre Miller trade with the Carolina Hurricanes this past offseason.
