The Detroit Red Wings loss to the New Jersey Devils on Monday night ended in mayhem after the final buzzer sounded.

Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen, who scored a highlight-worthy goal as part of Detroit's 6-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday evening, was singled out for praise by head coach Todd McLellan.
