The Detroit Red Wings secured a crucial standings point in a hard-fought 4-3 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild on Thursday evening. Despite falling short of a regulation win, the Red Wings managed to overtake the Tampa Bay Lightning for first place in the Atlantic Division.
Compounding the overtime setback was the absence of defenseman Simon Edvinsson due to a lower-body injury sustained previously.

Edvinsson has been a key contributor, frequently paired with Moritz Seider on Detroit's top defensive unit.
