DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings faced the team with the fewest points and worst goal differential in the league Wednesday, a club that had won just once on the road and started its backup goalie, who’s struggled.

The Red Wings failed to capitalize.

Ryan O’Reilly and Erik Haula scored 27 seconds apart with less than six minutes remaining in the third period and the Nashville Predators defeated the Red Wings 6-3 at Little Caesars Arena.

Nashville scored five times in the third period against Cam Talbot including another pair of goals in rapid-fire fashion earlier in the period.

The Red Wings dropped to 13-10-1. Nashville got 28 saves from Justus Annunen, and improved to 7-12-4. It was Annunen’s first win (1-3-1).

Alex DeBrincat, James van Riemsdyk and Ben Chiarot scored for the Red Wing
