The Red Wings (30-26-6, 66 points) have dropped three in a row at home, where they are 1-4-1 in their past six. They outshot Utah 39-19 but went 0 for 3 on the power play, failing to score on the man-advantage for the third consecutive game. Utah is 28-25-9 (65 points).

Linus Ullmark and a former teammate made things difficult for the Detroit Red Wings. The Wings started well and sustained pressure Monday at Canadian Centre Tire, taking on Atlantic Division neighbor and wild card rival Ottawa Senators.

There probably won't be many more difficult losses for the Red Wings this season than the one they endured Monday in Ottawa.
