Bernier has been in goal for 14 of the team's
16 victories. Tyler Bertuzzi and Robby Fabbri were the
goal-scorers for Detroit, which had lost 10 of its past 11 games
(1-9-1).
Patrick Kane scored the lone goal for Chicago, which saw its
four-game winning streak come to a halt. Corey Crawford made 23
saves for the Blackhawks, who came up empty on three power-play
opportunities.
Detroit was the more physical team, recording 30 hits to the
Blackhawks' nine. Faceoffs were even, with each side winning 23.
The first period ended scoreless.
Bernier robbed Alex DeBrincat in the early going on a two-on-one
situation, making a sliding save with his right skate. DeBrincat
had two goals against Edmonton on Thursday.
The Red Wings led 2-1 after the second period.
Bertuzzi scored his first goal in 14 games just 20 seconds into
the period. He ripped a shot from the slot after Dylan Larkin
flipped a pass from the boards over a defender's stick. Trevor
Daley picked up the secondary assist.
With Connor Murphy in the penalty box for tripping Alex Biega,
the Red Wings scored a power-play goal midway through the
period. Gustav Lindstrom recorded his first NHL point by passing
the puck to Fabbri, who blasted a shot that deflected off a
defenseman and beat Crawford on the glove side.
Kane notched his 31st goal with 1:05 remaining in the middle
period to halve the deficit. He scored in front after Brandon
Saad slid a pass across the goal crease. Jonathan Toews also
picked up an assist.
Chicago double-shifted some of its top goal-scorers in the final
period in an effort to get the tying goal but came up empty.
The Blackhawks won the first meeting this season between the
Original Six members, 4-2 on Jan. 5 after trailing 2-0 in the
second period.
