Recap: Red Wings settle for one point in OT loss at Arizona, 2-1

GLENDALE, Ariz. --The Detroit Red Wings recorded the first point of their four-game road trip, but dropped a 2-1 decision in overtime against the Arizona Coyotes at Gila River Arena on Saturday night.
Detroit (8-9-3) will be idle until next Wednesday's (Nov. 24) annual Thanksgiving Eve game against the St. Louis Blues.
The Red Wings held a 1-0 lead for more than 44 minutes of game time, but allowed the game-tying goal in the third period, and the eventual game-winner in overtime.

"We gotta capitalize. We gotta find a way to score," said captain Dylan Larkin. "We had a ton of chances. (Scott) Wedgewood played good, but we gotta find a way to score. Hit a couple posts, couple looks on the power play.
"But we just have to find a way to score, and when we get a lead late in games, we can't panic. We can't sit back and defend for 20 minutes. We gotta play some offense and play smart. We didn't do that tonight and you can't win games very much 1-0."
Detroit opened the game's scoring with 11:19 remaining in the first period, as Larkin capitalized on a loose puck near mid-ice. He secured possession following the scrum, and his left-handed shot beat Arizona goalie Scott Wedgewood to make the score 1-0.

The second period went scoreless, but the Red Wings out-shot the Coyotes, 15-6. Arizona killed a pair of Detroit penalties to keep its deficit at one goal (1-0) heading into the final frame.
Arizona tallied the equalizer with 6:29 left in the third period, with Ryan Dzingel finishing a scoring chance from near the blue line that evened the score at 1-1. The Coyotes won the preceding faceoff, and Dzingel threw a puck at the net through traffic that got past Red Wings goalie Alex Nedeljkovic.
Neither team scored down the stretch of the third frame, forcing the Red Wings' sixth overtime outing of the season.

Arizona's Clayton Keller ended the game just 25 seconds into the extra session, scoring his fourth goal of the season to secure the Coyotes' third win. The goal was reviewed for possible goalie interference, but was ultimately upheld upon review.
"You gotta find ways to grind out those kinda games to a win," said Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill. "You know, we played good enough to win the hockey game, so it's unfortunate to walk out not have won.
"Over a long period of time, you just gotta do it right. And if you do it right, and you defend more similar than what we defended tonight - you know, we created enough scoring chances to win, and I thought overall, we defended much better - you're gonna find yourself to lots of wins."
Wednesday's puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m. It will be the first of two meetings between Detroit and the St. Louis Blues this season.
