The Detroit Red Wings are coming off an overtime win over the New York Islanders last night, 4-3. It was a great comeback win, as the Red Wings were down 2-0 in the final period. The offense got some secondary scoring as J.T. Compher, Jake Walman, and Daniel Sprong scored goals in regulation before Lucas Raymond, off a beautiful play alongside Compher, scored the game-winner in overtime to secure the win. The Red Wings got some encouraging news today as they activated forward Carter Mazur off Injured Reserve and sent him to Grand Rapids of the AHL. Mazur suffered a lower-body injury during the Traverse City Prospect Tournament and missed all of the training camp.
