The loss ends the Wild's four game points streak while the Red Wings snapped their three-game losing streak. Minnesota is now 3-4-1 entering Sunday's fifth and final game of a long road trip in Chicago.
Leading 1-0, Lucas Raymond beat Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson to tie the game 1-1 with 3:09 left in the first period. And it was Raymond giving the Red Wings the 2-1 lead on a power-play goal with just 5 seconds left in the second period.

Detroit blocked 19 shots, including one by Matt Huff. The problem was that it was a shot from Matt Dumba that deflected off Huff's stick and hit him in the face. The slow-motion replay shows Huff's mouthguard flying out of his mouth as he crashed to the ice, then shedding his gloves, covering his mouth and going to the locker room.
As Mickey Redmond says, this game moves so fast. Hoping that Matt Luff is all right. #LGRW | @ThinkFordFirst @Matt_Luff25 pic.twitter.com/aP7r55ZQXf
