The team surely hopes to move beyond this incident as they eye a crucial comeback in the playoff race. The Atlantic Division is notoriously competitive, and with the Detroit Red Wings needing to edge out the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are currently one win ahead, every game counts.
With the playoff chase heating up, we're eager to see if Detroit can regroup and make a successful run for it.
