Zadina scores, Svechnikov gets OT game-winner in Wings’ third preseason game

By @MichaelCaples –

Another Red Wings preseason game, another win.

Detroit played its third consecutive home game in the 2018-19 preseason Saturday night, and the team recorded its third straight victory.

Evgeny Svechnikov recorded his second-straight game-winning goal, this time in overtime, as the Wings topped the Boston Bruins 4-3 at Little Caesars Arena.

Filip Zadina scored his first goal in a Red Wings uniform, while defensemen Dennis Cholowski and Vili Saarijarvi both scored, as well.

Here is Zadina’s goal:

Jimmy Howard stopped 23 of the 26 shots sent his way; he played the full 60 minutes-plus for the first full game of the preseason by a Red Wings netminder.

The Wings now head out for a road trip; Detroit plays at Pittsburgh on Sunday, at Chicago on Tuesday, at Boston on Wednesday and at Toronto on Friday.

They conclude their 2018-19 preseason by hosting the Maple Leafs next Saturday at Little Caesars Arena.
