DETROIT _ Offensive chances, yes, the Red Wings had some Saturday.
Cashing in on them, well, that was a different story entirely, which led to a familiar ending.
The Wings lost again, 1-0, as the New York Rangers completed the weekend back-to-back sweep.
The loss stretched the Wings losing streak to eight games.
Mika Zibanejad scored a power-play goal at 12:13 of the first period, his 20th goal, batting in his own rebound at the post past goalie Jonathan Bernier.
The Wings (12-37-4) certainly had opportunities against Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist (33 saves), who has played some of his best hockey against the Wings during his illustrious career, and did so again.
Lundqvist entered Saturday's game with a 1.49 GAA and .952 save percentage, his best marks against any team in his career, while winning nine of his last 16 decisions against the Wings (9-2-5) after Saturday's win.
Lundqvist was at his best in the second period, stopping Dylan Larkin on a drive to the net with seven seconds left, and robbing Tyler Bertuzzi in close.
Valtteri Filppula, playing in his 1,000th career game, had a glorious opportunity midway in the period, but drove the puck into the post, then shot the puck through the crease with Lundqvist scrambling out of position.
Bernier stopped 30 shots for the Wings in his first game since Jan. 10, nearly matching Lundqvist save for save.
