BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Detroit Red Wings made a break for home feeling better about themselves than about the weather.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Detroit Red Wings’ final meeting of the season with the Buffalo Sabres mirrored the slog of the winter storm but ended with a celebration.

Last time around in Buffalo was fun. After a rough road trip, the Detroit Red Wings turned on the jets right away, peppering the Buffalo Sabres for over 22 shots in the first period. The game ended with a two-point night for Lucas Raymond in a 4-0 win, giving Alex Nedeljkovic his first shutout as
