The Detroit Red Wings' hopes of making playoffs are beginning to drift away.

Goaltender Linus Ullmark was sensational, making 48 saves and Dylan Cozens, acquired Friday by Ottawa, scored his first goal as a Senator, giving Ottawa a 2-1 victory.

Cozens, left open by the post, fired a one-timer past goaltender Cam Talbot at 14 minutes 54 seconds of the third period, Ottawa's second power play goal of the game.

The Wings appeared to have tied it in the game's final seconds. But Lucas Raymond's goal off the draw beat Ullmark, but time had expired.

No tie, no overtime,and the Wings lost their sixth consecutive game.

The Wings (30-28-6, 66 points) have also won only two of their last 10 games (2-7-1). With Monday's loss, the Wings fell five points behind Ottawa (71 points) and four behind Columbus (70) for a wild-card position. The New York Rangers have 68 points.

Dylan Larkin tied the game 1-1 after the Wings forced an Ottawa turnover, and Raymond found Larkin near the hashmarks, beating Ullmark for his 27th goal.

Ottawa's David Perron, who spent the last two seasons with the Wings but left in free agency, scored a second-period, power-play goal.

Perron's wrist shot got past goaltender Cam Talbot at 7:39, Perron's fourth goal this season that's been cut short by injuries.

Ullmark was at his best in the second period, stopping 26 Wings shots. The Wing were 0 for 3 on the power play in the game, but again, that was largely due to Ullmark, who made a series of acrobatic shots during the evening.

Alex DeBrincat had a career-high 11 shots and saved a goal with a backcheck on a Wings' power play.
