The Daily: Red Wings’ Petry Loses A Goal; Flyers Up Next

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jeff Petry went to bed Saturday with nine career multiple-goal NHL games and sometime Sunday the league decided he only had eight.

The league made an official scoring change Sunday, giving Michael Rasmussen credit for a tip-in on Petry’s shot. Petry is now credited with an assist. Joe Veleno also had an assist.

When the goal was scored, Rasmussen was shown on replays celebrating like he touched the puck on its flight to the net. But there wasn’t clear evidence of that on the replay seen in the press box. The NHL must have had other views of it. Petry had not scored this season before Saturday.

It is hard to see a tip on this replay:

Red Wings Extras

Detroit’s next game is Wednesday against the Philadelphia Flyers. Alex Lyon should be ready to play then, but Ville Husso is coming off a quality start in a win against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Lyon hasn’t played since Nov. 25 because of an undisclosed injury. Coach Derek Lalonde’s team lost 4-1 to the Flyers last Thursday in Philadelphia. Cam Talbot played impressively in that game (32 saves), but he’s nursing another injury.
