Athanasiou scores 2nd breakaway OT goal in as many nights
James Guillory-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
For the second time in as many nights, Andreas Athanasiou has secured an overtime win for the Detroit Red Wings.
Just 24 hours after he delivered a dagger against the Minnesota Wild, the 22-year-old potted the game-winner against the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday night, picking up an errant puck and going backhand-forehand on Eddie Lack.
The goal was Athanasiou's 18th of the season, moving him into sole possession for second on the team. Meanwhile, Lack was stretchered off the ice after being shaken up on the play.
