That left the Wings (33-32-6) with two points from the three-game trip, their only success coming the previous night at Utah Hockey Club. The Wings have lost 10 of their last 13 games, and have just 11 games left to climb over four teams into the playoff picture.
Nathan MacKinnon had a goal and an assist, Jonathan Drouin and Martin Necas had two assists apiece, and the Colorado Avalanche rolled past the Detroit Red Wings 5-2 on Tuesday night.
Thomas Chabot and Tim Stutzle scored in the first period for Ottawa and the Senators held off the Detroit Red Wings in a 4-3 victory.
J.T. Compher had a goal and an assist, and Austin Watson scored for the Red Wings (33-32-6), who were coming off a 5-1 win at the Utah Hockey Club on Monday but are 1-3-0 in their past four games. Alex Lyon made 23 saves.
Elmer Soderblom and Marco Kasper also scored for the Red Wings (33-31-6), who had lost eight of 10 (2-8-0) and ended a six-game road losing streak. Petr Mrazek made one save before leaving at 1:38 of the first period with an undisclosed injury. Alex Lyon stopped 16 of 17 shots in relief.
Following the Detroit Red Wings' win against the Utah Hockey Club, head coach Todd McLellan offered a surprising four-word perspective on the game that captured NHL attention.
Mrazek has exited the game against Utah on Monday, as reported by Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press. The Detroit goalie skated to the bench after a collision in his crease. He was replaced by Alex Lyon, who has not played since facing the Hockey Club back on March 6.
