The Red Wings showed some of that resilience on Sunday, holding off the New York Rangers for a 2-1 win at Madison Square Garden roughly 24 hours after falling to the Buffalo Sabres in overtime at Little Caesars Arena. In New York, Alex DeBrincat opened the scoring on the power play and Lucas Raymond scored the go-ahead goal late in the third period.
“Overall, it was a good game,” said DeBrincat, who is on a three-game point streak (five goals, one assist). “I think we stayed on top of them a lot, played in their zone for a good amount of time. When we got caught out there, obviously they’re a good team and they’re going to keep you in your zone a little bit, but we didn’t crumble. Talbs played great – it’s always nice to have that.”
The 27-year-old forward, who was named the NHL’s Second Star of the Week on Monday for the period Nov. 10 -16, has collected 21 points (nine goals, 12 assists) in 19 games this season.
“It’s pretty cool,” DeBrincat said about being recognized by the NHL. “A lot of good players in the League, maybe got a couple chintzy goals there but I’ll take them all. For us right now, it’s keeping this momentum. Obviously, [Saturday’s game against] Buffalo wasn’t great but we had some good parts of the game. We need to keep this good attitude going.”
