It was a fun atmosphere on a holiday weekday afternoon and an entertaining game, but the Red Wings gladly would have exchanged the result.

The New Jersey Devils rode three power play goals to a 5-4 win over the Detroit Red Wings in a mid-day Black Friday matchup.

DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings downplayed the importance of Thursday’s 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders, but this was one they desperately needed to right the ship and restore some faith. They returned home after a disappointing trip and played one of their better games, showing urgency from the start and determination right until the end.
