DETROIT – Jonathan Bernier stopped the first 43 shots fired at him on Saturday and a career-high 50 through regulation.
Such is the nature of three-on-three OT, when turnovers more often than not lead to odd-man rushes, resulting in quality scoring chances.
Still, the Red Wings had no business being in overtime after Dallas tilted the rink during the first two periods and held a 51-17 edge in shots after 60 minutes.

It s shaping up to be a road trip full of milestones for the Florida Panthers, who have jumped the first hurdle on their current five-game swing with a 5-4 win last night in Nashville. Mason Marchment netted his first National Hockey League goal on a night when Radko Gudas was skating in his 500th NHL game, one game after Aleksander Barkov played his 500th game! Keith Yandle is expected to play in career game number 1,000 on Sunday at Carolina as well. Huge congratulations are in order to each of them!
