Patrick Kane rated the Joe Veleno celebration of his game-tying goal as “the second-best celly of the night.” We can assume Kane rated his celebration of the overtime game-winner as No.
So, who had the best goal celebration Tuesday at Little Caesars Arena? Joe Veleno, after his game-tying goal in the third period.
This team is having fun again and suddenly has a new outlook on a season that was spiraling downward two weeks ago. Their 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Kane’s overtime goal was their fifth in a row under new coach Todd McLellan. The Red Wings (18-18-4) are just two points out of the final wild card playoff spot.
With a three-point effort Friday, Kane now has 11 points during the Red Wings' current six-game winning streak.
The Wings showed their resilience after giving up a goal during a penalty kill late in the second period to fall behind by a goal, just like they did last week in Columbus, when the Blue Jackets dinged them for a pair of goals late in the second period. It's a vital part of why the Wings have resuscitated their season.
