RECAP: Late goals sink Red Wings in 8-2 loss to Rangers

DETROIT --Jonatan Berggren's NHL debut was spoiled by the New York Rangers, who beat the Detroit Red Wings, 8-2, on Thursday night at Little Caesars Arena.

Joe Veleno and Lucas Raymond both scored for the Red Wings, who allowed six unanswered goals in the third period. Ville Husso made 25 saves in the loss.
"It was the same story as Buffalo," captain Dylan Larkin said. "It just kept going in. We shot ourselves in the foot with errors and they capitalized on them."
Berggren, who was Detroit's 33rd overall puck in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, assisted on Veleno's first-period goal to record his first career NHL point.
"We didn't have a lot of pop and energy as a group, and he did," head coach Derek Lalonde said about Berggren, who led the American Hockey League's Grand Rapids Griffins last season with 64 points (21--43--64) in 70 games. "He created some offense there with Joe. I think that line was good."
Oskar Sundqvist, who missed the past seven games with an upper-body injury, returned to the lineup against the Rangers and registered 14:48 of ice time for Detroit (7-4-3).
During Thursday's pregame warmups, Red Wings players wore camouflage jerseys and used camouflage-taped sticks, which are being auctioned off

from Nov. 10-17, with proceeds benefitting the Motor City Veterans Hockey Association (MCVHA).

Lalonde on his postgame message
"I think it proves that if we are not exact or at the top of our game, we're just not good enough. I don't say that in a bad way. I think our guys know that. We've shown, when we're at the top of our game, we can play with anybody."
Larkin on mindset as the Red Wings embark on a four-game road trip
"We have to (forget about Thursday). We did a great job of it in Buffalo. That one stung. Guys were pissed off, but you have to forget about it. We got more injuries and hopefully some guys coming back on this trip. We gotta figure it out from within."
