DETROIT -Johan Larsson summed it up best, standing in the visiting dressing room at Little Caesars Arena: "It's a fine line," he said, "between winning and losing." Exactly how fine that line was against the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night, he wasn't sure.
Larsson began his drive as the final seconds dwindled off the clock in overtime, drew two defenders as he approached the net and made a quick pass back to Marco Scandella, who rifled a shot past Jimmy Howard with 0.2 seconds remaining to clinch a 3-2 win for the Buffalo Sabres.
Surely it took an acute sense of timing on Larsson's behalf to pull off the buzzer beater. Right?
