Red Wings-Sabres wrap-up: Wings add a pleasant twist to a familiar script

Updated with Khan talking to Holland at 8:57, and other goodies at 9:37: Whether it?s at home or on the road, the Red Wings and a 2-0 first-period deficit have become inseparable, to the point that it?s almost expected that, on any given night, the 2-0 deficit will either become the cause of yet another disappointing loss or the pleasantly surprising foundation of yet another almost miraculous comeback, with either result having the same likelihood of occurring. Thankfully for the Wings, who are en route from Lincoln, NB to Los Angeles, CA as I write this, a last?minute-of-the-third-period goal allowed the Drew Miller-less Wings to rally and defeat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 in a shootout.

Joey MacDonald played perhaps his best game during his second stint with the Wings, stopping 13 of the 15 shots he faced in the first period, 30 shots overall and 2 Sabres shooters, and Pavel Datsyuk?s power PPG in the 2nd and Jiri Hudler?s goal with 57.2 seconds left set up a shootout in which Datsyuk and Hudler scored on nearly the same move.
